Allyson Braithwaite Condie Livres

Dans un monde futuriste, tout est contrôlé par les Officiels. Ceux-ci décident de ce qui est bon ou pas pour la Société. Pour cette raison, et pour réduire les inégalités, c'est la Société qui choisit votre promis ou promise lors de votre Banquet de Couplage. C'est le cas pour Cassia. Seulement lors de son banquet, l'écran devant afficher son promis reste noir. Ce qui ne peut signifer qu'une chose : elle connait déjà son promis. Xander. Son ami d'enfance. Un promis parfait. Mais lorsque Cassia visionne la puce censée contenir toutes les informations à son propos, un autre visage apparaît, qu'elle connait également. Celui de Ky. Un ami. Très mystérieux. Ce qui est impossible : étant classé "aberration", le jeune homme ne peut avoir une promise. Mais le doute a déjà envahi l'esprit de Cassia, malgré les excuses de l'Officielle pour cette erreur. Une seule question reste présente dans ses pensées, tandis qu'elle tombe peu à peu sous le charme de Ky... A qui est-elle réellement destinée ? Jusqu'à ce que la jeune fille réalise que cette erreur prouve peut-être les limites de la Société...

Dans la Société, les Officiels décident de tout. Qui aimer, où travailler, quand mourir. Dans ce dernier volet, dense et palpitant, une épidémie ravage la population...

Aux confins de la société, rien ne se passe comme prévu : doubles jeux et trahisons rendront leur parcours plus périlleux que jamais.
