Ash in the Orchard

Ash in the Orchard
Divergent Trilogy | Eric x OC | Slow Burn | Canon Divergence

Selena Vale was born in Amity, but she never fit the mould of smiles and songs. Divergent in more ways than one, she's haunted by her mother's disappearance and a truth that's never let her rest. At eighteen, she chooses Dauntless not for glory but for survival.

Thrown into a brutal initiation, Lena learns quickly: strength isn't given, it's taken. But under the weight of fists, fear, and fire, one pair of eyes never stop watching her, Eric.

Feared, ruthless, and loyal to no one, Eric isn't supposed to care. But there's something about the girl from the orchard with storms in her eyes and steel in her spine that he can't ignore. And Lena? She knows she should fear him. But she sees the cracks in his armour and maybe something worth saving underneath.

As the rebellion brews and Erudite tightens its grip, Selena and Eric are forced to confront where their loyalties lie: with their factions, with the truth, or with each other.

She was never meant to burn.
He was never meant to feel.
But together, they might just spark a revolution.
