DELTORA QUEST SERIES 3: DRAGON'S NEST

Fans of the popular Deltora series will see their favorite characters in a new light with Ron Haddrick's smooth narration.This latest segment focuses on King Lief and his companions as they track down dragons to fight the evil Shadowlord's latest plan to destroy Deltora. Haddrick portrays the threats of the Shadowlord with slow, deliberate whisperings that make them all the more menacing and creepy. Each of the companions' strengths is specifically addressed through modulations of tone, speed, and pitch, leaving no doubt as to who is speaking. When they face their quarry, the Ruby Dragon, Haddrick's voice resonates with its ancient power.
