epigraph

Erudite-born Aurora Caddel- or Rory, as she prefers- has never felt like she belonged in her faction.

In earlier years, she at least had her best friend, Eric, to make things better. But ever since Eric left for Dauntless, Rory has been itching for an escape.

When the choosing ceremony comes around, Rory finally gets her chance to leave Erudite.

Determined to reunite with the guy that brought out the best in her, she leaves the place she calls home to pursue a more exciting lifestyle.

Little does she know, the sweet, caring guy that she'd once known isn't quite the same anymore, and Eric...well, it feels like she barely even recognises him anymore.
