Features: The series of "Rescue Deltora." The evil Shadow King conspires to conquer Deltora and enslave its people. The only obstacle to his plan is the magical Deltora Belt, adorned with seven powerful gems. However, these seven gems are stolen and hidden in seven terrible dark places across the land, opening the way for the Shadow King as Deltora falls completely. Now, they have recovered four of the gems. To find the fifth gem, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine journey to the terrifying mountain, where they encounter the Emu, the original inhabitants of the mountain, who have been left homeless after the land was taken over by the Terrible. The treasure hunters must not only reach the terrifying mountain quickly and confront the Terrible but also face the true ruler of the mountain—the Toad Shadow King. The Shadow King already knows the treasure hunters' whereabouts. On their quest for the sixth gem, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine must face new challenges, including the eerie Shapeshifter, the fierce pirates, and finally, the Glass in the Beast Maze.
