City of the Rats is book 3 in the Deltora Quest series by Emily Rodda.
Here's the story so far:
Sixteen-year-old Lief, fulfilling a pledge made by his father before he was
born, has set out on a great quest to find the seven gems of the magic Belt
of Deltora. The Belt is all that can save the kingdom from the tyranny of
the evil Shadow Lord, who, only months before Lief's birth, invaded Deltora
and enslaved its people with the help of sorcery and his fearsome Grey
Guards.
The gems - an amethyst, a topaz, a diamond, a ruby, an opal, a lapis lazuli,
and an emerald - were stolen to open the way for the Shadow Lord to invade
the kingdom. Now they lie hidden in dark and terrible places throughout the
land. Only when they have been restored to the Belt can the heir to
Deltora's throne be found, and the Shadow Lord defeated.
Lief's companions are the man Barda, who was once a Palace guard, and
jasmine, a wild, orphaned girl of Lief's own age who they met in the fearful
Forests of Silence.
In the Forests they discovered the amazing healing powers of the nectar of
the Lilies of Life. There they also won the first gem - the golden topaz,
symbol of faith, which has the power to bring the living into contact with
the spirit world, and to clear and sharpen the mind. At the Lake of Tears,
they broke the evil enchantment of the sorceress Thaegan, released the
peoples of Raladin and D'Or from her curse, and won the second gem - the
great ruby, symbol of happiness, which pales when misfortune threatens its
wearer.
Happy validating!
