Synopsis

Filled with action, adventure, and magic, Emily Rodda's epic Deltora series begins right here--now in a value-priced edition for a limited time only! Discover the starting point of an epic quest as the evil Shadow Lord plots to invade the land of Deltora. Will he enslave its people forever? All that stands against him is the magic Belt of Deltora with its seven stones of great and mysterious power. In secrecy, with only a hand-drawn map to guide them, two unlikely companions set out on a dangerous mission. Determined to find the lost stones and rid their land of the Shadow Lord, they struggle toward their first goal--the sinister Forests of Silence.
