Divergent

In a city split into factions that define each resident by temperament, Tris learns she doesn't fit any one label. She hides her true status as a Divergent while selecting a faction to join, hoping to blend in with rules designed to keep society orderly. As she trains, she senses danger in the way Divergents are treated and feels pressure to conform. But when a covert threat to the very system surfaces, Tris must rely on her uncommon abilities and a wary ally known as Four to understand what makes her different and why it matters. The road ahead will test courage, trust, and loyalty, and she discovers she can think clearly under pressure as the stakes rise and resilience.
