Sometime later in his reign, King Lief rediscovered the manuscript of Doran the Dragonlover's last work, a travelling guide and journal titled Secrets of Deltora which detailed his second-to-last last journey in Deltora as well as his discovery that only seven Deltoran dragons remained alive. King Lief made sure that the former slaves living there are always fed and taken care of – a task made especially difficult for the fact that many of the former slaves had enduring psychological issues following their experiences in the Shsdowlands, including post-traumatic disorder. Once Lief, Barda and Jasmine had returned the Deltoran Shadowlands slaves to Del, the palace became a refuge for the former prisoners, even while King Lief and Queen Jasmine remain living in Adin's ancient forge. Following the quest for the Belt of Deltora and during the quest for the Pirran Pipe, the palace came to be a refuge for Deltorans who had suffered during the rule of the Shadow Lord – a place where they could be fed, cured of sickness and wounds. With Queen Jasmine, King Lief is the father of Princess Anna, Prince Endon and Prince Jarred. After the quest for the gems of the Belt of Deltora, King Lief made Barda the captain of the newly reformed palace guards. Īlthough King Lief had moved into the Palace of Del upon being crowned king of Deltora, along with Jasmine and Barda and several other allies of theirs, he moved back into the forge in Del after the quest for the Pirran Pipe where he lives to this day. Lastly, a year later they revived the last of Deltora's dragons to aid in the destruction of the Four Sisters, evil creatures that the Shadow Lord had placed in four corners of the country to poison the very land with their magical, venomous voices. A year later they went on a quest to find the three lost parts of the fabled Pirran Pipe – the only weapon strong enough to combat the Shadow Lord in his own domain – from the three Pirran tribes hiding in the secret underground sea underneath Deltora, and used it to hold the Shadow Lord's power at bay in the Shadowlands so that they could liberate the Deltoran slaves imprisoned there.

In the beginning Lief only had Barda as a companion, but they met Jasmine in their first destination, the Forests of Silence, a wild orphan girl at the time. First they restored the gems of the Belt of Deltora. Īlong with his companions Jasmine and Barda, Lief has gone on a number of quests to save Deltora and its people from the grasp of the Shadow Lord. The ancient forge in Del that had been his home had also been the home and workplace of Adin, Deltora's first king, and where he forged the Belt of Deltora. He did not know of his true nature as heir to the Deltoran throne as his parents and their close friends, Jarred and Anna, switched places. Lief grew up in the over one thousand year old blacksmith's forge in Del, in Topaz territory and is of the Del tribe. He is the son of King Endon and Queen Sharn. Lief is the fourteenth known monarch and the current king of Deltora, and the husband of Queen Jasmine. Heir to the throne of Deltora and Belt of Deltora (formerly)

Heir-apparent to the throne of Deltora and Belt of Deltora (formerly) No one, eventually Princess Anna (as monarch of Deltora) Lief, son of Endon and Sharn, heir of Adin Lewin of Broome (during the companions' stay with the Masked Ones in Shadowgate) "king of Deltora" or "the king of Deltora" King Lief to Jasmine's demands of rescuing the enslaved Deltorans in the Shadowlands, in Cavern of The Fear I cannot and I will not! Do you understand?''" I can do nothing until I find a weapon we can use against the Shadow Lord. "I know this, Jasmine! Not an hour passes that I do not think of it! But I cannot send thousands of other Deltorans to their deaths in a hopeless quest to save them. Deltorans are suffering there in slavery, perhaps in torment-" " Then we must invade the Shadowlands without the Belt. Lief is in need of a few images!
