Good news, “Divergent” fans:ย Veronica Roth is ready to bang out another couple of books.

The author of the young-adultย book series has signed a deal with HarperCollins Children’s Books to pen two new works, which will be published in 2017 and 2018.

The upcoming novels are described as a “highly anticipated duology in the vein of ‘Star Wars’” by HarperCollins. The first installment will focus on a boy who forms an unlikely alliance with an enemy. Both desperate to escape their oppressive lives, they help each other attain what they most desire: for one, redemption, and the other, revenge.
