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.
