AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The people of Rin have long lived in the shadow of the Mountain, hearing the dragon's roar every morning and evening. When the village's precious stream stops flowing, a frightening journey must be undertaken up the Mountain to the stream's source. To the hardy villagers of Rin, the boy Rowan is a timid weakling. Yet because only he can read the magical map, it is Rowan who must brave the unknown terrors of the Mountain to save the village and solve a witch's riddle.

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.'
