The Guard
Same palace competition and love triangle, but told from Aspen's guard perspective in novella form—shorter and more inward than the main story.
The Selection Stories
Same palace competition and love triangle, now told from Maxon's and Aspen's sides—shorter, companion-style pieces rather than a full plot.
Alchemy of secrets
Another chosen girl caught between two dangerous options, but swaps palace gowns for modern urban-legend magic and a darker, edgier tone.
Lola and the boy next door
Another chaste teen love triangle where the girl must choose between a current boyfriend and a longtime crush, but contemporary and low-stakes instead of royal.
Anna and the French Kiss
Keeps the swoony, kiss-level teen romance and competing love interests, trading caste-system intrigue for a slower-burn Paris boarding school friendship.
Once Upon a Broken Heart
Same fairy-tale glitter and forbidden pull toward a prince, though the romance is slower burn and the prince far more wicked.
