Publisher's Summary

Lief, Barda and Jasmine - companions with nothing in common but their hatred of the enemy - are on a perilous quest to find the seven lost gems of the magic Belt of Deltora. Only when the Belt is complete once more can the evil Shadow Lord be overthrown. They have succeeded in finding the golden topaz and the great ruby. The two gems' mysterious powers have strengthened them and given them the courage to move on in their search for the third stone. But none of them can know what horrors await them in the forbidden City of the Rats.

Way Too Expensive

Great story, great voice acting. A fun, quick adventure. That's a problem though. A book this short for a whole token, or $15+. There's a whole series of books. To buy each Deltora Quest book equals hundreds of dollars. That's ridiculous. I can buy the book of the entire series 1 for $15 alone. This books needs a single anthology for 1 token, but of course that wouldn't allow them to price gouge.
