From Katherine Tegan Books:
"ALLEGIANT jackets on press. Checking the color to see if it’s right for millions of copies!"
Exciting! Eagle eyed fans managed to zoom in and work out the synopsis from the back cover- which has now been added to Amazon too. Here it is:
"The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is
shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss
and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the
limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and
Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies,
tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris's new reality
is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are
quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of
those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the
complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible
choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent."

Divergent's Miles Teller Reveals How the Cast Pranked Ben Lloyd-Hughes
Oh Miles, we are so not surprised you were the ringleader in this.
From USWeekly: Shooting a movie can be boring, with actors sometimes spending an entire day just standing in one spot. One good thing to come from all this free time, however, is that it has birthed the art of the "on-set prank," a little fun at the expense of costars. George Clooney does it, Brad Pitt does it, and so, Us Weekly has learned, does Miles Teller.
In a recent interview, Teller admitted to Us that while filming the highly anticipated adventure movie Divergent (adapted from the best-selling series from Veronica Roth), he had a little fun with British co-star Ben Lloyd-Hughes, who plays Will.
"The author of the books, Veronica, came by for a set visit and Ben kept talking about how much they had 'hit it off,'" Teller recalled. The 26-year-old Pennsylvania native plays Peter in the film. "It was kind of funny because he seemed to think that she liked him more than the rest of us, so I had my assistant run out for a balloon and a card. Then I wrote a fake note to Ben, signed it from Veronica and left it in his trailer."
Along with the note, Teller left another costar's phone number, and what followed was a few weeks' worth of communication between Lloyd-Hughes and someone who he thought to be Roth.
Ben Lamb, who plays Edward, told Us that it was a treat for the whole cast to watch the epic prank go down without a hitch. "I think he believed he was getting a spin-off," Lamb said. "He kept talking about his chats with her and even had scheduled a lunch which he was really anticipating."
Unfortunately, the fun and games finally came to an end when the cast was hanging out in a trailer and someone let slip the fact that the texts had been from Teller all along (Lamb believes the culprit may have been Zoe Kravitz).
"Ben stood up and was like, 'Is this a joke! Is this a joke!'" Lamb said with a laugh. "He couldn't believe it."

Shailene Woodley & Theo James on Ferris-Wheel Stunts and Hunger Games Comparisons
From Vanity Fair: Yesterday, Divergent stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James took Comic-Con by storm, premiering footage from their futuristic, adrenaline-fueled film at the San Diego Convention Center. But first, the duo, who play love interests onscreen in the adaptation of Veronica Roth’s best-selling young-adult novel, sat down with your blogger to discuss the dangerous stunts they had just completed on set in Chicago.
Before production began, both actors spent a month training for the physical challenges required of the big-screen adaptation, which details the grueling initiation process that Woodley’s character endures as she tries to join the “dauntless” group in a future society that divides people by their personality traits. James—the handsome British actor best known to us as Kemal Pamuk, the ill-fated Turkish diplomat who died suddenly in Lady Mary’s boudoir on Downton Abbey—did many of his own stunts, learning a hybrid style of fighting designed by the movie’s stunt coordinators and even severely injuring one its stuntmen.
“I had a fight scene, which happened very quickly,” he said. “It was, like, six guys coming at me doing various things. And unfortunately, one of the guys ended up getting 25 stitches in his face, which was not great, and I felt very guilty about it.” While Woodley did not fend off six attackers on set, she did do enough of her own stunts to injure herself. “I fell off a train and got two hernias,” the Golden Globe–nominated Descendants actress recalled nonchalantly.
“And a black eye,” James reminded her. (Read the rest after the jump)

Veronica Roth Announces ‘Allegiant’ Will Be From Both Tris and Four’s Perspectives
In case you missed in during all the excitement of Comic Con, Veronica Roth made a big announcement regarding Allegiant. Mind blown. We didn't see that one coming!
This is significant because both of the first two books, Divergent and Insurgent, were only from the perspective of Tris.
From Veronica: "So: why two POVs? Well, I tried repeatedly to write Allegiant in just Tris’s voice, but it didn’t work; her perspective, her way of seeing things, was a little too limited for the story I needed to tell. I wanted to do two things with it: A. let two characters experience different things, and B. let them react differently to the same things, so that I (and eventually, the reader) would get a better sense of the whole story, the whole picture.
I’ve said before that I’ve always seen Four (increasingly, as the series goes on) as a plot-mover alongside Tris, so he was the obvious choice for the second POV (though not the only one I tried). Exploring him and his choices and his assumptions about the world was incredibly interesting to me.
It was a big challenge, it took me a really long time, and I did my very best with it. I feel confident about the way it turned out, and I hope you enjoy it! On October 22nd! AHH!"
Jennifer Lawrence’s Advice to Shailene Woodley About Doing a Hunger Games–Like Franchise
Vanity Fair: The first day of Comic-Con has arrived, and fans are already anxiously queuing outside the San Diego Convention Center for the Ender’s Game and Divergent panels, both of which promise exclusive footage from the young-adult-novel adaptations that some are calling “the next Hunger Games.” Despite the palpable excitement surrounding the films, and their career-boosting potential, Divergent star
Shailene Woodley tells us that she initially balked at the idea of
starring in Neil Burger’s adaptation of Veronica Roth’s best-selling
novel, for which a sequel is already planned.
When we spoke with Woodley at Comic-Con, mere hours after she arrived from the film’s dystopian Chicago set, she explained her reservations. (Read after the jump)

Comic Con 2013: Author Veronica Roth's Day 1 Diary
As part of LA Times Hero Complex's Comic-Con coverage this year, they reached
out to a select group of actors and writers, asking them to document
their experiences in San Diego. Here is Veronica Roth, the author of Divergent:
Two years ago, a few months after I sold “Divergent” movie rights to
Summit Entertainment, I went to Comic-Con for the first time. I was
mostly just an observer — I had a short press conference in which I
explained my book, I people-watched Harry Potter cosplayers to my
heart’s content, and that was about it. This year, however, with the
“Divergent” movie being released on March 21, 2014, I embarked on a day
packed with interviews, a press conference, a panel and a party in the
midst of this fantastic nerd wonderland known as San Diego Comic-Con. (continued)
