Dragon's Nest (Deltora Quest 3 #1) [Paperback] Rodda, Emily

Lief, Barda, and Jasmine are back, and the stakes have never been higher. With the Belt of Deltora restored and the Shadow Lord's tyranny broken, you'd think the hard part was over. Wrong. Four sister dragons remain imprisoned across the land, and until they're freed, Deltora is still vulnerable. This first book of the third series sends our heroes north to Dragon's Nest, where deadly traps, ancient secrets, and the Shadow Lord's lingering influence await. Emily Rodda keeps the tension crackling — the puzzles are sharper, the dangers more vicious, and the worldbuilding deeper than ever. If your kid devoured the first two Deltora series, this is the natural next step. If they haven't started yet, catch them up — this is Australian children's fantasy at its finest.
