In a dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions: [[Brutal Honesty|Candor]], [[Butt Monkey|Abnegation]], [[Psycho for Hire|Dauntless]], [[Hufflepuff House|Amity]], and [[Insufferable Genius|Erudite]]. Every year, sixteen-year olds must select a faction to be a member of for the rest of their life, lest they become [[Crazy Homeless People|factionless]].
Line 6 ⟶ 8:
Beatrice grew up in Abnegation, unable to think of herself. But when she takes an aptitude test to decide what faction she fits in the most, her result is that she is a Divergent, qualifying for more than one faction. Therefore, she rejects her heritage and joins Dauntless, renaming herself Tris. As she takes the highly competitive initiation test, the conflict that threatens to rip apart the society gradually unravels before her.
The second book in the trilogy, ''Insurgent'', was released on May 1, 2012. The third book, ''Allegiant'', was released on October 22, 2013. A related book, ''Four: A Divergent Collection'' (2014), is a collection of five short stories.
A film trilogy based on the novels was made, released from 2014 to 2016, distributed by [[Summit Entertainment]] and [[Lionsgate]].
