In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions,
each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the
honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the
peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year,
all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the
rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her
family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a
choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself
Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are - and where, exactly,
a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the
life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from
everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a
growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she
also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves.... or it might
destroy her.
Debut author Veronica Roth bursts onto the literary scene with the first book
in the Divergent series - dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions,
heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance.
