After her mother's suicide, fifteen-year-old Lane Roanoke moves in with her grandparents and her cousin, Allegra, but years later, when Allegra goes missing, family secrets rise to the surface, forever altering Lane's future.
"Ivy Westfall is beyond the fence and she is alone. Abandoned by her family and separated from Bishop Lattimer, Ivy must find a way to survive on her own in a land filled with countless dangers, both human and natural. She has traded a more civilized type of cruelty-forced marriages and murder plots-for the bare-knuckled brutality required to survive outside Westfall's borders. But there is hope beyond the fence, as well. And when Bishop reappears in Ivy's life, she must decide if returning to Westfall to take a final stand for what she believes is right is worth losing everything she's fought for."--OCLC.
In an apocalyptic future where girls from the losing faction are forcibly married to boys of the winning faction, sixteen-year-old Ivy is tasked to kill her fianc? Bishop, although when she finally meets him, he is not the monster she has been led to believe.
