What is a Chronicle?

A chronicle is a sequence of stories, usually told in order of events. There are still many stories told in this fashion. Chronicles are interesting to write because they bring the reader into the sequence of events. A good example would be: if a story is based on the world coming to an end; the reader would be so in to the story that they would actually believe the world was about to end. If written in chronological order then the writer could make the ending having nothing to do with the end of the world and letting the reader know that it was all a hoax that began in the first book. That is what a chronicle is, it's a fashion of stories written in order of events.
