Plot summary

The main characters of the book are Barda, Lief and Jasmine who have retrieved all seven of the magic gems from their perilous guardians and lairs. They now have the Topaz, Ruby, Emerald, Lapis Lazuli, Diamond, Opal and Amethyst gems. The belt is whole and made. But the hardest part of the journey is yet to come--they need to find the heir of Adin, the true heir to Deltora. But there is another problem. Lief's father tells him that they would find the heir with the belt, for it will show the way. But the belt shows them the way but shows no sign of recognition of the heir. The party knows there is a problem and they have to do something about it. They know that they need to recruit a member of each of the seven tribes as well. The seven tribe members are Lief of Del for the Topaz, Manus of the Ralad people for the Ruby, Steven (and Nevets) of the Plains people for the Opal, Fardeep of the Mere for the Lapiz Lazuli, Gla-Thon of the Dread Gnomes for the Emerald, Zeean of Tora for the Amythyst, and Glock of the Jalis for the Diamond.

In addition to this, they now they need to awaken the belt's hidden powers and find the heir to the throne of Deltora. However, along the way, their friend Steven and his brother Nevets tell the three to go across a field of hidden grippers, which are plants composed of deep holes with venomous teeth inside. Lief and Jasmine are relatively unharmed, but Barda begins to slowly die. Lief realizes that he is the heir to the throne of Deltora, but the Belt of Deltora is not revealing its full power when he wears it. He suddenly remembers a passage from a book that his father showed him: "Only the Belt of Deltora complete as it was fashioned by Adin worn by the Heir of Deltora would create a spell greater than each gem alone." He rearranges the gems in the socketed belt so that their initials spell Deltora (the order would be Diamond, Emerald, Lapiz Lazuli, Topaz, Opal, Ruby, and finally Amythyst), and the Belt's powers flare to life, saving the city.
