Deltora is a land of peace and prosperity. At least, that’s what the king has been tricked into believing. In truth, the evil Shadow Lord has infiltrated the kingdom, leaving pain and suffering in his wake.
The only way to stop the Shadow Lord is to recover the legendary Belt of Deltora with its seven magical stones. However, with the royal family in exile, it’s up to Lief, a blacksmith’s son, to find the gems hidden in the kingdom’s most treacherous places. Armed only with a map and a unlikely companion, Lief sets out to find the first stone-a journey that will take him to the Forests of Silence.
The odds are against them, but they cannot afford to fail. If they don’t find the gems and force the Shadow Lord back to the Shadowlands, Deltora will be lost forever.
That is the book I read.

What an interesting book. Please let us know if Lief is successful.
