Isobel has been raised to be the perfect bride and mother in a society where women are rare after a devastating plague and war. Women are expected to take multiple husbands, who can support them while they take care of the home and raise the children. It's all she's ever known, and she knows it's what is supposed to be good for her. Unexpectedly, her final exam at Eve Academy, which is supposed to define her future and what men she will be matched with, is interrupted by a bombing. Her life is saved by her former best friend, Karina, a girl who she stopped being friends with because she would never follow the rules. Unexpectedly, she finds herself tempted by Karina's boldness and statements that she should not have to follow the life set out for her. She realizes that perhaps it's not that she's never fantasized about loving a man because she wants to be perfect for the ones chosen for her, but because she is not capable of loving a man at all. But Karina is part of something darker - something dangerous. Can Isobel break out of the role prescribed for her, even if it means risking her safety? Or will she push down her feelings once again, too scared to do anything different?All Rights Reserved
