The Matched series is set in a future Society where Officials determine every citizen’s job, spouse, and even the day they die. When Cassia Reyes is Matched with her best friend Xander, a glitch reveals a second face on her screen — Ky Markham — and she begins to question everything the Society has taught her.

The trilogy follows Cassia’s growing rebellion across three books, from the controlled green spaces of her home Province into the wild Outer Provinces and eventually into the heart of the resistance. Condie builds the dystopia gradually, layering in details about art, poetry, and personal choice that give the series its own flavor within the genre. The companion editions round out the world for readers who want more time in Condie’s carefully constructed setting.
