The Princess Academy series by Shannon Hale is a three-book fiction series published between 2005 and 2015. The first book, Princess Academy, came out in 2005, and it was followed seven years later by Palace of Stone in 2012. The third and final book, The Forgotten Sisters, arrived in 2015.

Though only three books long, the series spans a full decade of publication. Each installment picks up with the same characters and world, so reading in order from Princess Academy through The Forgotten Sisters is the recommended approach. The gaps between books gave Hale time to let the story grow, and readers moving through all three will find the characters age and change along the way.
