The nineteenth book in the classic fantasy Redwall series – perfect for readers aged 9+.

Lord Asheye of Salamandastron has a prophecy: a new Badger Lord will soon reign over the legendary badger fortress, 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 fate of many creatures, both good and evil, are caught up in the saga, somehow the young ruler must escape and find a way to defend Redwall, for only then will be be able to fulfil his destiny as leader of Salamandastron.
