Years and years ago, when war was waged, people thought of a way to create the utopia they had all dreamt of living in. They created a society that divided a city into five different ways of living - five different factions that believed in different things that caused the war. The Amity believed that the reason for war was aggression, the Abnegation believed it was selfishness, the Erudite believed it was ignorance, the Candor believed it was dishonesty, and the Dauntless believed it was cowardice.
Liana Hood was brought up with the values of the Amity; in a place where peace and oneness with nature were important values to uphold. Now, she is faced with a great responsibility - one that could change her life and her future.
Choices are made, plans are foregone, things are met with regret, and Liana is not safe anymore. Will she ever be able to make things right again?
'The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.' -Jim Hightower
In a society divided into five factions, two girls must make a choice.
Amity-born April Dexter 'Dex' Meadows has always known that she's different from the other Amity kids.
She'd get into fights when provoked rather than staying calm. She'd climb scarily high in the trees rather than playing on the ground. And she'd find them and their games boring.
Being told she was Divergent wasn't exactly a shock.
But for Brooke Kang, on the other hand, the daughter of the Candor representative who's always done her best to fit in, it is.
Being Divergent doesn't just mean you're different. It's dangerous and the penalty for not conforming is death. Two girls from two very different factions must make a choice. But where one will try to hide her Divergence, the other will simply be herself.
Which way is the 'right' way to be Divergent? And will both girls survive?
