From June 1, 2021: Chicago-raised Veronica Roth was a senior at Northwestern University when she wrote her first book Divergent, the first part of a trilogy that would go on to sell more than 42 million copies and spawn three hit films starring Kate Winslet and Shailene Woodley (Veronica sold the film rights within months of graduating college.). The book series – about a futuristic, dystopian world in which those entering adulthood must choose one of five factions and commit to it for life – is now celebrating its 10th anniversary, and as the films continue to air on TV and streaming services, fans across the world on social media continue to keep the Divergent world alive.

To commemorate the milestone, HarperCollins is releasing new 10th Anniversary editions with exclusive essays from Veronica Roth and reimagined cover art from award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai.
