This trilogy is  about a dystopian future, where our race is split into five factions. These factions are Candor, where you never tell a lie, Abnegation, where others always come first, Dauntless, where being brave is required, Erudite, where knowledge is valued and Amity, where kindness  and peace are the core values. The books follow Tris, a Abnegation born 16 year old girl. In her choosing ceremony, she transfers into Dauntless and a very tough initiation follows. Tris must fight for her right to stay and hide her divergence as best she can, during a time where a civil war is brewing.
