Plot summary

In Deltora, a land of magic and monsters, the Shadow Lord's evil tyranny has finally ended after three unlikely heroes Lief, Jasmine and Barda defeated him. He and the creatures of his sorcery have been driven out of Deltora. But thousands of Deltorans are still enslaved in the Shadowlands, the Shadow Lord's terrifying and mysterious domain. To rescue them, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine, heroes of the quest for the Belt of Deltora, must find the Pirran Pipe, the only weapon the Shadow Lord fears. They embark on the dangerous quest and find the first broken piece of the Pipe. There they encounter The Fear, a giant squid or mollusk-like creature with a shell of rock and a tearing beak, whom the three companions battle. In the end, they are not able to defeat it, but then Glock of the Jalis manages to stab a sword down its throat, finally killing it. Glock however dies not long after and is buried among the graves of the past pipers (leaders) of the Plume tribe, on Plume island.
