Divergent Book Series

The Divergent series was written by Veronica Roth. It is a young adult science fiction series. The story takes place within a dystopian society divided into five different factions: Candor (honest), Abnegation (selfless), Dauntless (brave), Amity (peaceful), and Erudite (intelligent). In this dystopian society, citizens are defined according to their social and personality-based affiliations in order to remove any threat of anyone exercising independent thought. We follow Beatrice Prior who changes her name to Tris. She was born into Abnegation and transferred into Dauntless, and she has to figure out her life as one of them while hiding her true nature from everyone else and living with the danger that she might be killed if it is discovered that she is Divergent.
