Self-isolation just got a little bit more entertaining thanks to Veronica Roth. Yep, that’s right, the Divergent series author just announced her brand new dystopian novel, and it’s one you won’t want to miss!
Titled, Chosen Ones, the book follows life for Sloan Andrews — one of the “Famous Five” teenage heroes — 10 years after she saved the world from an evil force called the Dark One. Just like the Divergent books, this one will also take place in the future-like world of Chicago. According to the novel’s summary, “On the tenth anniversary of the Dark One’s defeat, something unthinkable happens: one of the Chosen Ones dies. When the others gather for the funeral, they discover the Dark One’s ultimate goal was much bigger than they, the government, or even prophecy could have foretold — bigger than the world itself.” Sounds like a total page-turner to us!
Get this, you guys, there’s no need to wait for the book to be released because it’s out right now! Thankfully, Chosen Ones dropped on Tuesday, April 7, for readers (and Divergent fans) to enjoy. If reading isn’t your thing, not to worry because there’s also an audio book available for purchase and the entire novel is narrated by actress Dakota Fanning!
That’s not all! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film rights to Chosen Ones has already been picked up by Picturestart media company, which means there’s a movie in the works, too. So, sit back and get ready to relax, book lovers, because there’s no way you’re going to want to put this one down.
Once this novel has been read cover to cover, mark those calendars and preorder the upcoming Hunger Games prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. For those who missed it, the story of President Snow as a teenager is officially coming on May 19.
