Divergent Trilogy (1) - Divergent: Book 1 [Paperback] Roth, Veronica

In a walled Chicago, society is split into five factions — each dedicated to a single virtue. At sixteen, Beatrice Prior must choose where she belongs. But her aptitude test reveals something dangerous: she's Divergent, fitting no single category. In a world that demands conformity, that's a death sentence if discovered. She renames herself Tris, picks the brutal Dauntless faction, and throws herself into their punishing initiation. What starts as a fight to prove herself becomes a fight to stay alive — and to protect a secret that could unravel everything. Veronica Roth's debut is fast, fierce, and surprisingly violent, with a protagonist who earns her toughness through blood and broken bones. For fans of *The Hunger Games* who want higher stakes and a romance that doesn't soften the edges.
