Realm of Wonders (the Queen's Council, Book 3)

In this sweeping series of interconnected novels that can be read out of order, Disney's Princesses grow up--and learn to rule--guided by the magical Queen's Council. In Realm of Wonders, Jasmine must prove that she is the rightful heir to the throne of Agrabah. This magical reimagining of a princess determined to write her own tale blends fantasy and legend with a Disney twist. Jasmine thought that she had earned her happily ever after when she and Aladdin defeated Jafar. Then her beloved father dies and, overnight, all her plans for the future change. Instead of her wedding, she's now planning a funeral and a coronation--her coronation, to become the first woman to rule Agrabah. But before the sultan's crown is placed on her head, her claim to the throne is called into question. Jasmine has always been headstrong, but for the first time in her life, she finds herself faltering. Agrabah's ministers decree that the way to determine the true ruler is through a tournament--a series of challenges meant to test not just her ability to rule, but everything she holds dear. As the chasm between Aladdin's world and Jasmine's grows wider, their future together becomes even more uncertain. Meanwhile, dark forces appear to be descending on Agrabah: A gray mist swirls across the land, shadows lurk within the palace, and voices whisper to Jasmine in the night. A message warns from beyond the grave: You must find the book. Jasmine's quest to decipher the message, win the tournament, and secure the throne leads her deep into the reality of her own story, and those of women who have ruled other lands before her. With the aid of the mysterious Queen's Council, she must uncover the truth and step into her rightful role as sultana of Agrabah.
