Soma has past the first challenge of the stagiaire program. His next assignment, working for Shinomiya at his new restaurant in Tokyo, poses greater challenges than he ever imagined.

The three students have won their way into the finals, but only one will take home the crown as the winner of the Fall Classic. And before the furor of the Classic has even died down, Soma and the others are sent off to new battlefields.

As the Fall Classic semifinals come to a close, the final ingredient chosen for the competition is pike. Soma, Hayama, and Kurokiba must create top-notch dishes under the competition's strict time limit.

Mimasaki's ability to perfectly copy his opponents' dishes is unnerving, but Soma vows to show the judges at the Fall Classic's first semifinal that cooking is about so much more than copying a recipe.

In the last quarterfinal match of the Fall Classic, Takumi Aldini faces off against Subaru Mimasaka, who seems more smug than he should when competing against the cooking skills of Takumi and probably is hiding something.

Although Soldeen has given Lief and his friends the gem, the sorceress Thaegan arrives to avenge her children. Lief and the other warriors must shed one drop of her blood to defeat her.

Lief, Barda, and Jasmine travel to the Lake of Tears and discover that the giant monster Soldeen that lives in it has one of the gems of Deltora. But even if they could obtain it from so monstrous a creature, they will still have to escape from the evil sorceress Theagan.

Although Jasmine warns Lief and Barda not to go through the territory of an evil sorceress, they ignore her warning and walk straight into the witch's minions.

Sixteen years after the rise of the oppressive Shadow King and his Grey Guards, Jarred prepares his son, Lief, to embark on a quest to locate seven sacred gems that will allow Deltora's true king to retake the throne.

After the king and queen of Deltora die and their young son, Endon, ascends to the throne, Endon's best friend Jarred uncovers a plot to strike the royal palace from within. Before he can act, he is accused of murder and must take refuge outside the castle walls until he is needed.
