A list of The Princess in Black series in order

Princess Magnolia is the perfect princess: she wears frilly pink dresses, dons glass slippers on weekdays, and is even afraid of snails. However, when Duchess Wigtower stops by Princess Magnolia's castle for an unexpected visit, Princess Magnolia must be extra careful not to let appearances slip. Over scones and hot chocolate, the duchess confesses that her real reason for visiting is to uncover secrets. Because even though Princess Magnolia seems prim and perfect, Duchess Wigtower claims that "everyone has a secret." [3]
