"I was wrong. Some people can be mended. Others of us are damaged beyond repair." Three years after the tragic death of Tris, Tobias is still grieving. He puts on a fake front for everyone around him, pretending that he is fine, when he is actually burying his pain in drinking and struggling to get through each day. But when secrets about the Bureau of Genetic Welfare start to emerge, people will need Tobias's help to uncover the truth and stop the corrupt government once and for all.

Three words can change everything. Who knew that three words in the right combination could bring such joy, and yet such sorrow when combined differently. This is a story of Tris and Tobias if they had met outside of Divergent. Characters belong to Veronica Roth.

This story is told from Tris and Tobias and a few of their friends along the way. Tobias has lived in Chicago his whole life and Tris is the new girl from Arizona. The story starts in August when they first meet each other. The two are both in the same grade and become friends. Will they become something more than that? High school, drama, and much more to come for them.

"There is a chasm between us, a gaping schism that only seems to widen as hard as we try to close the distance. Someday, our combined efforts to reach each other again will lead us both into the abyss." After an overthrow of the unwanted factionless government, the war in Chicago is over. To maintain stability, the faction leaders decide to return to the faction system. Because of this, the sixteen-year-olds that chose that year are sent back to their former factions for nine months. Tris falls into a state of depression after the war and her impromptu breakup that occurred at the end of it, and returning back to Abnegation--to the same house as her traitor brother--doesn't help. Tobias remains in Dauntless, but while he isn't exactly despondent, he does feel out of place. He doesn't fit in and cannot go on with normal life after everything that happened. Then, Choosing Day arrives. And history definitely does not repeat itself when Tris goes through the initiation process with her old friends and enemies, her ex-boyfriend, and the new sixteen-year-olds, while citizens of Chicago are mysteriously dying.
