Product Details
This 4-book set from Scholastic expands on the world of Delora books by Australian author Emily Rodda. These books are also called the "Deltora Quest 3" set.
These particular books belong to Scholastic's "First American continuity edition."
The following descriptions are taken from the back covers: (
1. Dragon's Nest
"Everybody in Deltora thinks the dragons have disappeared. But the young king Lief knows this isn't true—and that the time has come to find them. The evil Shadow Lord has poisoned the land with four vile creations of sorcery buried with such stealth that only the bravest of heroes will find them.
"Lief and his companions Barda and Jasmine must struggle to reveal the origins of the sorcery and destroy them. Their only clue is a fragment of an ancient map. and their only hope of help lies with seven unlikely allies—the last of Deltora's dragons."
2. Shadowgate
"The Shadow Lord may be gone from the land of Deltora, but he has not been forgotten. His evil remains in the form of the Four Sisters and a number of devious spies who will stop at nothing to return the Shadow Lord to power.
"Lief, Barda, and Jasmine have found and destroyed the first of the Sisters. Now they must find the second, hidden within the treacherous mountains that border the shadowlands. There they discover masked tricksters, vile wanderers, and artful thieves—all with their own secrets and plans. It will take cunning, strength, and the help of dragons for the three heroes to make it to Shadowgate and defeat the Sister of the North's terrible, mysterious guardian."
3. Isle of the Dead
"Aided by the mysterious magic of Deltora's last dragons, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine have found and destroyed two of the Four Sisters, evil Shadow Lord creations that have been poisoning Deltora. Aware that time is running out of the starving people of the kingdom, the adventurers are racing to their next goal, on the wild west coast.
"The Shadow Lord has become aware of their quest. And somehow he knows every move they make. Terrible dangers from the present and the past lie in wait for them. And the greatest shock of all lurks in the lair of the ferocious Kobb, on the desolate Isle of the Dead."
4. The Sister of the South
"With the aid of Deltora's last dragons, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine have destroyed three of the Four Sisters, evil Shadow Lord creations that are poisoning their land. Their quest will end in the city of Del, where the Sister of the South lies hidden.
"Del is Lief, Barda, and Jasmine's home, but it has changed while they have been gone. Fear now stalks the streets, treachery lurks behind smiling faces, and evil prowls the palace. Even as they confront their own fears, the three brave companions know they cannot turn back. For in the Shadowlands, the Shadow Lord gloats, waiting for the terrifying end. ..."
