Part of Divergent, book 0.1
First published 2013
Tobias sits in the chair for his aptitude test, knowing this moment will determine his future. The simulation reveals results that could change everything, but the real test comes on Choosing Day when he must decide which faction will become his new home. He leaves his old life behind and enters Dauntless initiation, where brutal training and dangerous challenges await. The other initiates don't know his real name or where he came from. During the intense trials that push recruits to their physical and mental limits, Tobias proves himself in ways that surprise even his instructors. His performance in the fear landscape earns him a nickname that will stick with him forever. Four fears. That's all the simulation reveals, a number so low it seems impossible. This is how Tobias becomes Four, and how a boy running from his past transforms into someone who can face almost anything.
