Book Summary
One choice will define you.
What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation - like a single choice - changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?
The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered - fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limit she's known, Tris is ready. Peraps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled by loyalties and painful memories.
But Tris new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the heart of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature - and of herself - while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love. (Source: Wikipedia)
