(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Join Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent series, for a virtual discussion on Thursday, October 1, 2026, presented by the Ocean County Library. Get a sneak peek at The Sixth Faction, the highly anticipated novel by one of the most iconic young adult authors of a generation. The event begins at 7:00pm.
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. 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 has a plan. She’s going 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 world, her plans, and Beatrice herself.
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.
