The Ruling Class
The Ruling Class
The Ruling Class by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a captivating story about power, secrets, and the high stakes of a double life.
A POWERFUL SISTER.
When Tess is sent to stay with her older sister, she has no idea that the famed Ivy Kendrick is the capital's number one "fixer"—for powerful people looking to make a scandal disappear... for a price.
A DOUBLE LIFE.
No sooner does Tess enrol at the prestigious Hardwicke School than she unwittingly finds herself following in her sister's footsteps—and rapidly becoming Hardwicke's go-to high-school fixer.
A PRICE TO PAY.
Secrets pile up until the sisters' worlds collide in a conspiracy that reaches from the halls of Hardwicke to the most powerful people in the country. Suddenly, there is much more on the line than just good grades... The odds are stacked against Tess, and the price for this fix might be more than she can pay.
