The Towers of Illica — Emily Rodda

The queen of Australian fantasy fiction, Emily Rodda, returns with a new series filled with all of her trademark suspense and adventure. Sail with Britta, a young woman on a quest to restore her family name and take her rightful place as an apprentice to the powerful Rosalyn fleet.

In Book 3 of the Star of Deltora series, the Star of Deltora is making for Illica, home of the mysterious Collectors. Ahead is the most important trade of Britta's life-her last chance to defeat her rivals and win the Rosalyn Contest. She knows she should be thinking of nothing else. But she is in danger.

The ghostly shadows that haunt her are pressing closer. And though the terrors of Two Moons have been left behind, a cloud of fear still hangs over the Star like swamp mist.
