The worldwide sensation as you’ve never seen it before. Step into a bold new Divergent series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth.
Beatrice Prior stands on the brink of a decision every person in her world must make: five factions, five futures, five lives.
She has a plan: she’s going to make the bravest choice and leave Abnegation to join Dauntless, even though it means abandoning her family.
But when tragedy strikes at her choosing ceremony, everything changes—her world, her plans, even Beatrice herself.
Her decision will thrust her into the crosshairs of an underground rebellion, where a boy with secrets as dangerous as her own—a boy with only a number for a name—may be the only person she can trust.
One choice will change everything.
The series
The Sixth Faction is a young adult dystopian series by Veronica Roth that returns to the world of Divergent, but follows a radically different path through its familiar faction-divided Chicago. Rather than continuing the original story, the series asks what might have happened if one crucial moment in Tris Prior's life had unfolded differently.
Read full series description
Five factions still promise five distinct futures, and every young person must still decide where they belong. But when tragedy disrupts Tris's Choosing Ceremony, the decision that once defined her life is thrown into chaos. The consequences pull her toward an underground rebellion and into the orbit of a mysterious boy known only by a number, reshaping relationships, loyalties, and conflicts that may feel familiar while leading them somewhere entirely new.
Built as an alternate take on the Divergent universe, the duology explores identity, choice, courage, family, and resistance from a fresh angle. Familiar characters return, but their histories are no longer guarantees of their futures. Small changes can alter alliances and turn old certainties into unanswered questions, giving the story an atmosphere of constant possibility and unease.
The series brings Roth back to the dystopian world that became an international phenomenon, while allowing her to reconsider it through years of distance from the original trilogy. For longtime Divergent readers, that makes The Sixth Faction less a conventional sequel than a second route through a world they thought they already knew, where one different choice can change everything that follows.
