Book Summary

Dotti, a brazen young haremaid, and the badger Lord Brocktree, a fearsome warrior embark on a perilous journey to Salamadastron.

In this thirteenth book of the New York Times best-selling Redwall epic, Brian Jacques brings to life an adventure-filled new tale, featuring the most unlikely of companions - Dotti, a brazen young haremaid, and the badger Lord Brocktree, a fearsome warrior.

Together, the two embark on a perilous journey to Salamadastron, the legendary mountain of the badger lords, which is under siege by the vicious wildcat Ungatt Trunn and his infamous Blue Hordes. It is only Brocktree, with the help of the spirited Dotti, who can save them and take back the mountain that is rightfully theirs, restoring peace to the Redwall lands.

Horn Book Magazine - Anne St. John

Jacques's talents for creating memorable characters and weaving several plot strands into one cohesive story are at their best in this exciting adventure.

School Library Journal

The plot is well balanced, chapters of floating on a river and feasting with friends are set in counterpoint with the horrors of war. The characters, as always, are easily defined and identified by their accents, a Jacques specialty. It may take some readers a while to figure out what everyone is saying, but they will make the effort as these beasts are all so engaging. There is no need to have read the earlier books for this one to make sense, but new readers will undoubtedly be asking for more, and fans will just eat it up.
