The inhabitants of Redwall relax in the haze of summer-but as they do, the neighboring stronghold of Salamandastron lies besieged by the evil weasel army of Ferhago the Assassin. Worse still, Mara, beloved daughter of Urthstripe, Badger Lord of the Fire Mountain, is in terrible danger. Then a lightning bolt uncovers the sword of Martin the Warrior, and young Samkin embarks on an adventure that leads him to Mara. Can the good creatures triumph over the villainous Assassin?

About the Author: Brian Jacques, the author of the internationally best selling Redwall novels, was born in Liverpool, England on June 15th, 1939. Along with a large percent of the population of Liverpool, his ancestral roots are in Ireland, County Wexford to be exact. After Brian finished school at fifteen, he joined the merchant marine. He traveled to many far away ports. Returning to Liverpool he worked as a railway fireman, a longshoreman, a long-distance truck driver, a bus driver, a bobby (Police Constable 216D), a radio broadcaster, a folksinger, and a stand-up comic.
