Features: The Hobbitt Chronicles. The evil Shadow King conspires to conquer Deltora and enslave its people. The only obstacle to his goal is the magical Deltora Belt, adorned with seven powerful gems. However, these seven gems are stolen and hidden in seven terrifying dark places across the land, opening the way for the Shadow King and leading to the complete downfall of Deltora. Guided by a hand-drawn map, Lief and Barda embark on an adventure to find the gems. Their starting point is the eerie and terrifying Silent Forest, where they meet a young girl named Small, almost the same age as Lief, and with her help, they obtain the first gem—the Yellow Gem of Loyalty. To obtain the second gem, the three heroes must pass through the territory of the witch Sagan, where the journey is filled with unpredictable twists, traps, and dangers. In the end, they must face the horrifying guard of the tearful lake, Soldeen, who is under the spell of the grinding magic.
