Four: A Divergent Collection by Veronica Roth

A Dystopian Prequel Anthology of Faction Initiation, Family Secrets, and Divergent Lore

Told entirely from the perspective of Tobias "Four" Eaton, this companion anthology collects four novellas—"The Transfer," "The Initiate," "The Son," and "The Traitor"—that detail Tobias's life before and during the events of Divergent. Escaping his abusive father in Abnegation, sixteen-year-old Tobias transfers to Dauntless, where he earns the nickname "Four" by facing his deepest psychological fears during initiation.

As Four rises to become a respected instructor, he uncovers political corruption and secret alliances between Erudite and Dauntless leadership. The collection culminates in key scenes from Divergent retold through Four's eyes, detailing his growing bond with Tris Prior and his fight to protect his faction.
