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.'
