Join us online for a conversation with Veronica Roth as we celebrate the enduring legacy of her "Divergent" series and get a sneak peek into her upcoming novel "The Sixth Faction."

Fifteen years after readers first stepped into dystopian Chicago alongside Tris Prior, the "Divergent" universe continues to captivate readers with its unflinching exploration of identity, courage and sacrifice. And in the alternate universe of "The Sixth Faction," we revisit familiar characters in a completely new way.

Beatrice Prior stands on the brink of a decision every person in her world must make: five factions, five futures, five lives. She plans 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 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.
