The first book in a trilogy, Divergent is a heart breaking tale of extraordinary adversity and breaking the rules. Set in a dystopian future, we follow a young girl about to face one of the most important decisions of her life. Headstrong and independent, Tris defies the expectations of her family and faction when she chooses a destiny no one expected for her. Tris meets Four, a brooding and unapologetic dauntless leader, and the two become hopelessly entangled in a web of lies that reaches further into their society than they ever could have dreamed. Filled with beautiful characters and dazzling plot twists, Divergent is a novel for those who want to travel to a new world with new rules.
