The End and Other Beginnings cover

From the best-selling author of Divergent and Carve the Mark comes a stunning collection of futuristic short stories. Illustrated throughout with striking black-and-white illustrations.

Within this masterful collection, NO WORLD IS LIKE THE OTHER.

Full of friendship and revenge, each story and setting is more strange and wonderful than the last, brimming with new technologies and beings. And yet, in these futuristic lands, the people must still confront deeply human emotions and dilemmas.

Veronica Roth reaches into the unknown and immerses readers into six short stories that feel startlingly familiar and profoundly beautiful.

With two new stories from the Carve the Mark universe, this collection has something for everyone.

Praise for The Fates Divide:
“The Fates Divide features themes like hope and resilience and is told from four perspectives, as the lives of its two heroes are ruled by their fates spoken by the oracles at their births. Of course, a little romance gets in the way as well.” (Entertainment Weekly)

Praise for Carve the Mark:
“Roth’s worldbuilding is commendable; each nation is distinct, interacting with the current in ways that give insight into her characters’ motivations. Roth thoughtfully addresses substantial issues, such as the power of self-determination in the face of fate.” (Publishers Weekly)

“This duology offers shades of George Lucas sprawl and influence, Game of Thrones clan intrigue, and a little Romeo & Juliet-style romance.” (USA Today)
