|aThe evil Shadow Lord is planning to take over the land of Deltora and enslave all its people. In order to stop him 16-year old Lief and former palace guard Barda must find all seven stones from the magic belt of Deltora.
After the land of Deltora falls to the Shadow Lord when the gems from its magical protective belt are scattered, young Lief and his companion set out for the Forests of Silence to find the missing jewels and the heir to the throne.
