Summary: |
From the mind of Brian Jacques -- the New York Times bestselling author of the Redwall series -- comes another exhilarating adventure in this beloved saga. At the legendary fortress of Salamandastron, aging Lord Asheye has a prophecy. A new, young badger lord must take his place, but Lord Asheye does not know who the young warrior is. A haremaid of the Long Patrol, Mad Maudie, is dispatched to track the mysterious badger down. Meanwhile, unaware of his destiny, the future lord is captured by infamous fox Vizka Longtooth. Vizka and his Sea Raiders intend to impose their will on Redwall Abbey, and it falls to their captive to defend the abbey and fulfill his destiny. The feasts have been served. The weapons have been readied. The battle lines have been drawn. It is time for the thunderous warcry to carry throughout the land -- Eulalia! Jacques and his extraordinary troupe of vocal performers infuse this rousing tale with life, creating a distinct personality for each four-legged character. |

Author Notes: |
He wrote Redwall for the children at the Royal Wavertree School for the Blind in Liverpool, where he delivered milk as a truck driver. His style of writing is very descriptive, because of the nature of his first audience, for whom he painted pictures with words, so that they could see them in their imaginations. After Alan Durband, his childhood English teacher, read Redwall, he showed it to a publisher without telling Jacques. This event led to a contract for the first five books in the Redwall series. He also wrote the Castaways of the Flying Dutchman series. He died on February 5, 2011. (Bowker Author Biography) |
