Books with title The Diana Chronicles

Ten years after her death, Princess Diana remains a mystery. Was she "the people's princess", who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she a manipulative, media-savvy neurotic who nearly brought down the monarchy? Only Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Tatler, England's glossiest gossip magazine, as well as Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, could possibly give us the truth. Tina knew Diana personally and has far-reaching insight into the royals and the Queen. In The Diana Chronicles, you will meet a formidable female cast and understand as never before the society that shaped them. Among them are Diana's sexually charged mother, her bad-girl sister-in-law, Fergie, and, most formidable of them all, her mother-in-law, the Queen. Add Camilla Parker Bowles, the ultimate "other woman", into this combustible mix, and it's no wonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own power and used it to devastating effect.

The first fun, adventure-filled story in your newest young adult coming-of-age obsession."Today, I add another title to your mouthful of a name, Princess. From now on, you are the Hope of Wizteria."Solana said nothing in response. She did not know what to say. It did not matter. Kuri spoke again. "Princess, Wizteria is fated to fall tomorrow," she said in a matter of fact way, gently stroking the little girl's hair. "I have been assigned to take you as far away as I can from this place and to keep you safe. You will live with me and my son, Rexajon. The people around you will not call you a princess. They will never speak of who you are and where you come from, but you can never forget who you are. You will not return here for a very long time, but so long as you are alive--so long as you are safe, all of Wizteria is safe."When a serious threat loomed over Wizteria, King Rulland knew his infant daughter was the key to the kingdom's salvation. He disguised her energy signature by stripping her of her magical abilities, then sent her away with his most trusted advisor to the farthest and safest place he could think of--Earth.Sixteen years later, Solana is thriving as an (overprotected) teenager living on Earth. That is until her loving caretaker goes missing. When the only way to save her means getting her powers back, she sets out on an adventure that sends her across the globe and forces her to defy every obstacle life can throw at her to become the hero she was always destined to be.

Aliiana and Pippin learn that a thief has stolen the Ruseol Gem, the source of all good magic on Earth. If the thief destroys the Gem, all magic will wither and die—including Aliiana.
