Synopsis

"Engel makes good use of her setting; the fight for survival on the cusp of winter stokes the sense of danger in a way that matches Ivy's roiling feelings, and the love story moves with the slow-growing heat that Ivy needs." ―Kirkus Reviews

I am still alive. Barely.

My name is Ivy Westfall. I am sixteen years old and a traitor. Three months ago, I was forced to marry the president's son, Bishop Lattimer―as all daughters of the losing side of the war are sold off in marriage to the sons of the winners. But I was different. I had a mission―to kill Bishop.

Instead, I fell in love with him.

Now I am an outcast, left to survive the brutal savagery of the lands outside of civilization. Yet even out here, there is hope. There is life beyond the fence. But I can’t outrun my past. For my actions have set off a treasonous chain of events in Westfall that will change all of our fates―especially Bishop's.

And this time, it is not enough to just survive...

About this title

About the Author

Amy Engel was born in Kansas and after a childhood spent bouncing among countries (Iran, Taiwan) and states (Kansas; California; Missouri; Washington, D.C.), she settled in Kansas City, Missouri, where she lives with her husband and two children. Before devoting herself full-time to motherhood and writing, she worked as a criminal defense attorney, which is not quite as exciting as it looks on television. When she has a free moment, she can usually be found reading, running, or shoe shopping.

Reviews

Gr 9 Up—In The Book of Ivy (Entangled Teen, 2014), readers were introduced to Ivy Westfall and the dictatorial world ruled by her family's rival—the Lattimers—that she grew up in. When she is named to marry Bishop Lattimer, the president's son, her family encourages her to assassinate him as a power play to return the Westfalls to power. Unfortunately, Ivy ends up falling in love instead. The Revolution of Ivy opens with the girl now branded a traitor and forced to survive outside the fence of her former home in a barren wasteland. Luckily, she meets up with Caleb and Ash, two new allies who help her learn how to survive. When Ivy is reunited with Bishop, she has to face the consequences of her actions and prepare for the Westfalls to summit with the Lattimers. Ivy is a strong female lead, while Bishop is a well-developed character who is more than just eye candy. Hand this underrated duology to fans of dystopians.
