Publisher's Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Brian Jacques gives us another tale of Redwall, filled with "The Knights of the Round Table with paws" (The Sunday Times) along with their friends and enemies.
Slagar the fox hated Redwall Abbey-its peaceable creatures, its fearless mouse warrior Matthias. He blamed Matthias for the injuries he'd suffered…but his quest for vengeance would have to be a cunning one, for he knew the power of the legendary Redwall sword.
Above all, he knew, the Redwallers cherished their young. So Slagar would steal them from under their very noses-and the greatest prize of all would be Matthias's son, Mattimeo...
