The Princess of Burundi

When the badly mutilated body of John Harald Jonsson—a working-class family man and an expert on the tropical fish known as cichlids—is found in the snow in the provincial Swedish town of Libro, homicide detective Ola Haver and his colleague, Ann Lindell, quickly identify a suspect, an embittered sociopath.

Victoria Victorious

At birth, Princess Victoria was fourth in line for the throne of England, the often-overlooked daughter of a prince who died shortly after her birth. She and her mother lived in genteel poverty for most of her childhood, exiled from court because of her mother’s dislike of her uncles, George IV and William IV. A strong, willful child, Victoria was determined not to be stifled by her powerful uncles or her unpopular, controlling mother. Then one morning, at the age of eighteen, Princess Victoria awoke to the news of her uncle William’s death. 

Mary Tudor - Princess, Bastard, Queen

She was the first woman to inherit the throne of England, a key player in one of Britain’s stormiest eras, and a leader whose unwavering faith and swift retribution earned her the nickname “Bloody Mary.” Now, in this impassioned and absorbing debut, historian Anna Whitelock offers a modern perspective on Mary Tudor and sets the record straight once and for all on one of history’s most compelling and maligned rulers.  

Princess Power #2: The Charmingly Clever Cousin

Princess Fatima doesn't care much for her brother-in-law, Ahmed. His cousin Yusuf is much more charming, with his elegant mustache and impressive magic tricks. Yet when Ahmed goes to visit his dying father—and never returns—Fatima starts to worry. Something suspicious is going on, and it just might be up to the princesses to come to the rescue!
