The evil Shadow Lord has been banished, but still famine stalks Deltora, and only monsters thrive. As the starving people weaken, Lief, Jasmine and Barda discover a terrible secret. The Enemy left the seeds of death behind him. Four vile creations of sorcery called the Four Sisters are hidden in the land, slowly killing it.
Lief, Barda and Jasmine, heroes of the quest for the Belt of Deltora and erstwhile conquerors of the Shadow Lord, must find the deadly Sisters and destroy them. Their only clue is a fragment of an ancient map. Their only hope of help lies with seven unlikely allies - the last of Deltora’s dragons.
But somehow the Shadow Lord learns of the companions’ new quest, and plots their destruction. Hidden enemies and terrible dangers from the past and present lie in wait.
And in the Shadowlands the Enemy gloats, waiting for the terrifying end…….
