What's right is right. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan—she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from monitoring, went on with their lives.

Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of choice - catastrophic events known as Drains - leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him. After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal...for everyone but them. Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting.

Sonya Kantor conosce molto bene questo motto, visto che ha ispirato, meglio condizionato, gran parte della sua vita. In realtà queste parole hanno condizionato la vita di tutti gli abitanti della megalopoli di Seattle-Portland-Vancouver. Per anni, infatti, hanno dovuto adattarsi a un codice morale molto rigido e a una costante sorveglianza da parte della Delegazione, resa possibile da una sofisticata tecnologia. Poi la rivolta ha cambiato tutto. La Delegazione è stata rovesciata e sostituita da un nuovo governo.

In dit fantastische sciencefictionverhaal creëert Veronica Roth een universum waarin iedereen een unieke gave heeft. Cyra's gave geeft haar pijn, maar ze kan ook anderen onnoemelijk veel pijn doen. Haar broer Ryzek heerst als een tiran over hun planeet, Shotet. Ryzek misbruikt Cyra's gave om zijn vijanden te martelen.
