by Emily Rodda (Author)

'Rowan of Rin' is a series of thrilling adventures set in a fantasy world with memorable characters. Rowan is a shy village boy; an unlikely and reluctant hero. While he is by no means the strongest or brightest in Rin, he is determined and brave in the truest sense: persisting in a quest for something he believes in, despite his own fears. Each book is a complete story, with a myriad of intriguing riddles that must be solved in order to overcome the many challenges and obstacles.
