The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past-and her family’s dark secrets-than she ever wanted to. Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. And everyone else, now free from the Insight’s monitoring, went on with their lives. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. 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. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan-she lived by it for most of her life. She currently lives in Chicago with her husband and their dog, Avi, whose adorable existence is well-documented on Instagram.įor fans of Anthony Marra and Lauren Beukes, #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth tells the story of a woman’s desperate search for a missing girl after the collapse of the oppressive dystopian regime-and the dark secrets about her family and community she uncovers along the way. She is a board member of YALLFest, the biggest YA book festival in the country, and YALLWEST, its sister festival. She wrote the manuscript that would become Divergent in her free time while attending Northwestern University, where she graduated magna cum laude with a degree in English Literature with Creative Writing in 2010.
From that time on, she knew she would write for the rest of her life, whether she was published or not.
In elementary school, Veronica read constantly, but it wasn’t until she got a “make your own book!” kit from her mother as a gift that she thought to write anything of her own. Though she was born in Mount Kisco, New York, Veronica’s family moved to Hong Kong and Germany before settling in Barrington, Illinois. The Fates Divide, the second installment of the Carve the Mark series, also debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Carve the Mark published in January 2017, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and remained on the list for eighteen weeks. The trilogy has been adapted into a blockbuster movie series starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James. Divergent received the 2011 Goodreads Choice Award for Favorite Book, Publishers Weekly’s Best Book of 2011, and was the winner of the YALSA 2012 Teens’ Top Ten. VERONICA ROTH is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Divergent series ( Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, and Four: A Divergent Collection) and the Carve the Mark duology ( Carve the Mark, The Fates Divide).
