  Mary Elizabeth Braddon's first novel, Lady Audley's Secret, was one of the most popular English novels of its day. Published serially in 1862, it tells the story of the lovely Lucy Graham, who becomes Lady Audley at the beginning of the novel, and who conceals a scandalous secret from her new husband and his family. The plot, which includes madness, bigamy, attempted murder, and seduction, made this a shocking but highly successful story for Victorian audiences. It remains one of the best examples of 19th century sensational fiction, and is a wonderfully absorbing book.

  To allow so young and delicate a girl to tramp England aimlessly in search of some vague and secret information which seemed to be her erratic father's object, was, we decided, an utter impossibility; therefore, following that night of our first meeting at Helpstone, Burton and his daughter remained our guests for a week, and, after many consultations and some little economies, we were at last successful in placing Mabel at school, a service for which we later received her heartfelt thanks. ...That the precious document, or whatever it was, sewn up in the wash-leather which the dead man had so carefully guarded through all those years was now missing was, in itself, a very suspicious circumstance, while Mabel's vague but distinct apprehensions, which she either would not or could not define, now aroused my suspicions that Burton Blair had been the victim of foul play.

  The Kingdom of Athanasia is all abuzz as Prince Kevin is about to marry Taryn, the beautiful girl who mysteriously appeared at the castle on Christmas Eve and stole his heart. Taryn also won the Queen’s admiration when she represented the kingdom on a mission to the tropical land of Jabalia, where she met Princess Jameela and her childhood friend and escort, Zuberi. Athanasia has a unique custom where they unveil the Princess Tiara in a formal ceremony a few days before the wedding. Princess Jameela and Zuberi arrive in the kingdom as guests for the wedding just before the Tiara Ceremony.

The Tiara Ceremony goes off without a hitch, but afterward the Tiara is missing, having been stolen. Taryn and Kevin are distraught as they must have a tiara to crown the new princess at the wedding, which is just days away. But hope arises with a clue from the royal library, the very room where Kevin first fell in love with Taryn as they shared their love for stories. Will Taryn, Kevin, and their friends from Jabalia be able to find the thief and recover the tiara in time for the wedding? Adventure awaits our young friends as Taryn’s dream is about to come true.

  "It's dark tonight I hope we aren't seen," a man said to his partner in crime. 
  "It's like the old days we climb in a window and pray not to get caught," said the thief who was known as the Chameleon to his partner the Cat as they stealthily walked through the garden of their mark. 
  "The room is the third window on the second story," said the Cat examining the building. The Chameleon tested the strength of a lattice leading to it going up the wall. 
  This should work I'm surprised people are so careless with security," the Chameleon said laughing. They climbed up the lattice trying not to be pricked by the thorns of the rose that climbed up it as well. 
  "The alarm is off or it should be, but I'll disable it," said the Chameleon. 
  He cut the alarm wire and jimmied the window till it opened. 
  They climbed in the room and looked about it. 
  "The safe is behind that painting," said the Chameleon pointing at the only picture in the room. 
  "Ok who will do the work you or me?" asked the Cat who was as skilled a cracksman as the Chameleon. 
  "It's my turn you did the last job," said the Chameleon who walked over to the picture removing it handing it to the Cat to put down. 
  The Chameleon put his ear to the safe and cracked the lock and opened the door removing the contents out of the safe putting it in a backpack on the Cat's back. 
  "Got it! Let's go." said the Chameleon.These Thieves Are Dead!How can the dead commit robbery?
