Samantha Daniel is a 16 year old girl, she resides in Chicago, a city that is now walled off from the rest of the world after a war. Chicago's citizens are divided into 5 groups, factions. Abnegation; The selfless, Amity; The kind, Erudite; The Intelligent, Candor; The honest, and Dauntless; The brave. Sam was born in amity, but her whole life, she knew it was not where she was meant to be, she wanted adventure, more adventure than she could ever hope for at amity. So when the choosing ceremony approaches, its obvious what faction she will join, dauntless.
Will she make it past the brutal initiation? Or will her inner demon drag her down into oblivion?
"She holds matches recklessly in her hands."
Faction.
It's what defines you.
The world is not the same anymore. The only way to survive is to find your place in the factions.
Corrine Minor is Abnegation. She and her twin brother have always known where they belong, and it is not with the Abnegation. They wish to live the carefree, adventurous life of the Dauntless. But they will learn there is so much more to being Dauntless than they thought.
Eric is cold. He's cold hearted and merciless. He worked his way up and became a leader for Dauntless and he takes advantage of it every chance he can get. He punishes the initiates just because he can.
And then a girl with doe eyes and perfectly pink lips jumps off the train after the choosing ceremony and turns his world upside down. He didn't even know he could still feel...anything.
