Fifteen years ago, we met a young girl who stood before the judgment of a fractured society, unaware that her "divergence" would dismantle the world as she knew it. Now, years later, that story is being reimagined in The Sixth Faction.
A Major What If
In the world of Divergent, a single choice is meant to define the rest of your life. But how would events play out if Tris never joined Dauntless?
Beatrice ‘Tris’ Prior enters her Choosing Ceremony prepared to leave her family for Dauntless, but a sudden tragedy shatters her plans and forces a different path. This unexpected choice thrusts her into the center of an underground rebellion and into the company of a mysterious boy known only by a number. As her world unravels, Beatrice must navigate dangerous secrets that threaten to transform her and the future of the faction system forever.
The announcement of the new Divergent series was released on Harper Fire, HarperCollins’ imprint for their young adult novels.
Fans won't have to wait too long to see this "what if" story. The Sixth Faction will be released on October 6, 2026. While plot details are still being kept under wraps, the teaser art suggests a darker, more atmospheric dive into the Chicago ruins we first explored years ago.
Are you ready to jump back onto the train, or should the story have stayed behind the fence?
Get your shelves ready to welcome back an icon. Revisit the legacy of Tris Prior in a reimagined reality that proves one different decision can change an entire world.
