Emily Rodda has created a magical, harshly beautiful world as a setting for this series. I can't wait to read the third book, which takes Lief, Jasmine, and Barda to the horrifying City of the Rats. This exciting, epic new fantasy series continued with this wonderful book. In secrecy, with only a hand-drawn map to guide them, two unlikely companions set out on a dangerous quest. All that stands against him is the magic Belt of Deltora with its seven stones of great and mysterious power. Otherwise, they can never find the second stone required to save Deltora. The evil Shadow Lord is plotting to invade the land of Deltora and enslave its people. Now Lief and his companions have one more goal they must accomplish - to free the Lake of Tears. The latest leg of their journey takes them to the Lake of Tears, a beautiful place turned ugly and evil by a fiendish sorceress. Grief-stricken and believing his people are lost, Manus withdraws a flute and starts playing it, which summons the people of Raladin. And they will succeed - if only they can survive. To achieve their goal, Lief, Jasmine, and Barda will face every imaginable danger that Deltora holds. These three vastly different people share one quest - to find the seven stones that can save Deltora. Three strangers come together - Lief, son of the blacksmith who tried once before to save this world and failed, Jasmine, a girl left orphaned and alone, and Barda, a former palace guard determined to restore Deltora's rightful ruler to the throne. A beautiful, magical world covered by the shroud of darkness, its people suffering under the oppressive rule of the evil Shadow Lord.
