Book Summary
The Shadow Lord's evil tyranny over Deltora has ended. He and the creatures of his sorcery have been driven back across the mountains. But thousands of Deltorians are still enslaved in the Shadowlands, the Enemy's own terrifying and mysterious domain.
To rescue thousands of Deltorans enslaved in the Shadowlands, Lief, Barda and Jasmine - heroes of the quest for the Belt of Deltora - must find a weapon powerful enough to combat the Shadow Lord's magic on his own ground.
According to legend, the only thing the Shadow Lord fears is the fabled Pirran Pipe. But does the mysterious Pipe still exist? And if it does, what dangers will the companions have to face to find it?

Emily comments on Deltora Quest :
I was really excited when I thought of the idea of writing Deltora Quest. At first I wanted to write a serial-type quest, a story that would go over several books. The Rowan of Rin books, which have always done quite well and which I love writing, are complete, without a continuing storyline. I really wanted to write a classic quest in stages, culminating in a final book. I had the idea of a quest involving three heroes and had worked on the manuscript for quite a while before I took it to the publisher, Scholastic Australia. I wanted to see what they thought of it and it turned out that they thought it was a great idea.
