I do not own anything of Tamora Pierce's stuf.
Diary of the past
Prologue: Two centuries ago
Sir Illana, the only woman knight and Champion in the whole realm of Tortal picked up a book. She opened it. There was empty pages. Grabbing one of the many feather ink-pens she had, she carefully wrote her name, and the year.
As Illana did her duty, fighting for King Jak and for Tortal, she wrote in that book, all that had happened and all the secrets which nobody knew about, right up to the day she died.
As she lay there, gasping for a breath, she handed the precious book to her daughter,
Elanna. "Take it," she rasped. "Read it and share it with your daughter when you grow up." Elanna nodded and took her grandmother's hand as she died, with a smile on her face.
Elana grew older, and as time went on, she also had trained to be a page, but, as the Ordeal of Knighthood came, she failed, although she left the Chamber, she never was knighted. Elana destroyed every memory of her famous mother but she couldn't bring herself to destroy two things she had always loved, her grandmother's knight portrait and her diary. Instead, they were locked away, and hidden, until many years had passed and Illana's great great great great great granddaughter once again opened the diary, so precious to Illana.

That was very short. But it is only the prologue. Stay tuned for the first chapter.
