It captured the imagination of the public, and two more books in the series followed: "Insurgent" and "Allegiant." In the three young-adult science fiction novels, she told a coming-of-age story set in post-apocalyptic Chicago. Following the release of several Divergent series companion novellas and short stories, Roth began what may become a second series with the release of "Carve the Mark" in 2017.
