greatest challenge of his life. He must venture into the darkest and
most terrible places in all of Deltora to find the seven magical gems
stolen from the Belt of Deltora. When reunited in the Belt, these
gems—an amethyst, a topaz, a diamond, a ruby, an opal, a lapis
lazuli, and an emerald—will empower the heir to the throne of
