About the Book

A collection of four pre-Divergent stories plus three additional scenes from Divergent, all told from Tobias's point of view, that follow Tobias's transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, his Dauntless initiation, the first clues that a foul plan is brewing in the leadership of two factions, and the weeks after he meets Tris Prior.

Book Synopsis

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Divergent with a
special edition of Four, the fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling
series that captured the hearts of millions of readers and inspired a series of
major motion pictures starring Shailene Woodley. This edition features
exclusive content from Veronica Roth and beautiful reimagined cover art from
award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai.

Readers first encountered Tobias as "Four" in Divergent
and will find more of this charismatic character's backstory told from his own
perspective in Four: A Divergent Collection. When read together, these
long narrative pieces illuminate the defining moments in Tobias's life, from
his transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, his initiation, and the decisions of
loyalty--and love--that Tobias makes in the weeks after he meets Tris Prior.

"Fans of Divergent who can't get enough--and maybe
