Adventure to the world of Deltora Quest in this epic fantasy from legendary author Emily Rodda.

Description

Britta's dream is to be a sea trader, like her father. But the shameful end to her father's last voyage has forced her family into hiding, and his ship—the Star of Deltora—forfeited into the hands of the powerful trader, Mab.

When a contest is announced to become Mab's apprentice and the heir to the Rosalyn Fleet, Britta enters in disguise. Sailing aboard her father's old vessel, Britta must outwit her three rivals—Jewel, Sky, and Vashti—one of whom is a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to best her.

As the trials increase in difficulty, darker forces seem to haunt the crew's every harbour. Soon enough, these sinister tendrils draw the ship to the cursed Isle of Tier—the site of Britta's father's undoing...

A sweeping, unforgettable adventure set in the world of Deltora Quest by iconic author Emily Rodda.
