AbstractHistoryArchive Description

When his little sister Annad is snatched from Rin by a monstrous flying creature, Rowan must travel to the distant land of Rin's ancient enemies, the Zebak, to rescue her. The journey is a perilous one, and Rowan and his companions have only a series of mysterious, riddling prophecies to guide them. At the end of their quest they come upon an even greater mystery, and an extraordinary secret is revealed.

When sleep is death
And hope is gone.”

'Rowan doesn’t believe he has a brave heart, but when danger threatens his village of Rin he discovers he is much more resourceful than he could ever have imagined. The Wise Woman Sheba’s ominous words haunt him. Her cryptic riddles are all he has to help him find a way to solve each problem. Rowan must find within himself the means to overcome perils that would daunt the greatest hero: terrifying monsters, the forbidden Mountain and those who would enslave his people. Only when he faces his fears head-on will the true path of his quest be revealed. All five books in a special deluxe 30th anniversary edition of the award-winning Rowan of Rin series, from much-loved master storyteller Emily Rodda, author of the Deltora Quest series.'
