Description
A new Badger Lord will soon reign over the legendary fortress of Salamandastron — one who 'shuns both armour and sword'.
But who is he, and how is he to be found?
A young haremaid from the Long Patrol regiment is dispatched on a dangerous mission to find him, but the unsuspecting future Badger Lord has been captured by a murderous gang of Sea Raiders intent on conquering Redwall Abbey.
While the fates of many creatures, both good and evil, are caught up in the saga, the young ruler must escape and find a way to defend Redwall; only then will he be able to fulfil his destiny as leader of Salamandastron.
