Set in dystopian Chicago, Beatrice Prior lives in a society divided into 5 factions
- Abnegation (the selfless; where she and her family belong),
- Amity (the peaceful),
- Dauntless (the brave),
- Candor (the honest),
- Erudite (the intelligent).
At the age of 16, they are made to take aptitude tests to determine which faction they
belong to. During the annual Choosing Ceremony they can decide between staying with
their family or choosing another faction where they will live for the rest of their lives. When Beatrice took her test she had an inconclusive result. This made her evaluator worry.She was advised not tell anyone what her result was. When it was time for her to choose
which faction she wanted to join, much to her parents surprise she chose Dauntless over
Abnegation. During her stay in Dauntless she changed her name to Tris to embrace the
new idea of belonging to another faction. Tris faced rigorous and death‑defying training.
After all, when your faction means bravery you should be able to face anything.
She tried to blend in the background but her ability to get past simulation tests gained her
the spotlight all the more. Her budding romance with her elusive trainer named Four also
added to her troubles. Tensions arise when Tris finds herself in a situation that endangered
the life of the people she loves. The turn of events will catch you by surprise as Tris
struggled with her own identity in a world where trust seems to be as elusive as freedom.
