Lord Brocktree
"Peace has gone on too long. Something inside me says that trouble such as these shores have never known is headed our way."
Salamandastron, under the guardianship of old Lord Stonepaw, is under threat from an enemy of immense and terrifying power. Ungatt Trunn, the wildcat who can make the stars fall from the sky, has attacked with his Blue Hordes and is determined that the fortress should be his. The mountain's defenses are weak and it seems that nothing can stand in his way.
Nothing, that is, but the badger Lord Brocktree, who is drawn to Salamandastron by an undeniable sense of destiny. But if he is to rescue the mountain from Trunn and his verminous hordes, he must gather about him an army capable of defeating them in battle.

Redwall Abbey is a quasi-medieval fantasy setting, in which the inhabitants are peace-loving mice and other small animals, who seek adventure and fend off endless attacks by evil foxes, rats and weasels. These epic tales of good triumphing over evil are told in flowing prose and simply structured stories that bring to life Redwall and its surrounding Mossflower countryside.
The heroic characters are ones the reader not only becomes fond of, but also learns to love and admire, as they uphold the Abbey's mission to keep the world peace and ordered. This imagined world of domestic detail and created mythology has captured the hearts of many children and made them readers for life.
Note: As is most popular, the books in this series are chronologically ordered according to 'Redwall' history, rather than by date of publication.
