A young hero must reclaim lost gems to overthrow a tyrant and restore peace.
In a land overshadowed by tyranny, sixteen-year-old Lief embarks on a perilous quest to reclaim seven lost gems and restore the Kingdom of Deltora. Guided by his father's unfulfilled oath and accompanied by the loyal Barda, Lief faces the sinister Shadow King and his Grey Guards. Can Lief succeed where others have failed, or will darkness reign forever? The fate of a kingdom hangs in the balance as he ventures into the unknown, confronting dangers and uncovering secrets that could change everything. Will Lief rise to the challenge and fulfill his destiny?
THE QUEST FOR THE GEMS BEGINS! Lief is a cheeky sixteen-year-old ruffian in the fallen wasteland of the city of Del, once home to the great Kingdom of Deltora. Sixteen years ago, his father, Jarred, pledged an oath to the true King of Deltora to return the seven gems and restore peace to the land. Unable to complete the quest himself, he has striven for years to prepare his son for the journey of a lifetime. Now, to break the oppressive rule of the Shadow King and his Grey Guards, Lief must undertake his father’s quest with his comrade Barda, and gather the gems from the grip of evil. Will he answer the call? Includes special extras after the story!
