Apparently this is an adaption of a series of books, of the same title, by Jennifer Rowe (pseudonym Emily Rodda). According to Wikipedia she received many offers to produce a film of the books but agreed to the anime because they promised not to change the story. That said this summary from the book's website should be pretty accurate.

The evil Shadow Lord has been banished, but famine still stalks Deltora, and only monsters thrive. As the starving people weaken, Lief, Jasmine and Barda discover a terrible secret. The Enemy left the seeds of death behind him. Four vile creations of sorcery called the Four Sisters are hidden in the land. They are slowly killing it while the Shadow Lord gloats, awaiting his triumphant return. The companions must find the deadly Sisters and destroy them. Their only clue is a fragment of an ancient map. Their only hope of help lies with 7 unlikely allies - the last of Deltora's dragons.

Doesn't sound bad. Maybe a bit cliched, but then again, what isn't these days.

The last time I heard about shadowlords was in Ultima V. Nice to see they are still trying to thrive somewhere...

Maybe I'll check this one out, now that some interesting info was presented.

When picking up a new show first thing I do is look at the characters to see if there is anyone that looks cool enough to get me to watch. The girl with the (Raven?) looks cool. Gonna give this a try.

It isnt so bad. Kind of traditional RPG story, so if you dont mind that then it should be worth watching. The action doesnt seem to good though, and it probably wont impress anyone.
