Tyrant! Badrang, evil Lord of the eastern coast looks out over his domain. Tyrant! How he loves the word. While he rules over a band of ruthless hordebeasts, his slaves labour night and day to build his great, dark fortress, Marshank. From here he will defend his position and plunder and kill his way in all directions until he is absolute ruler of all he surveys. But amongst Badrang's slaves is an indomitable young mouse, Martin, son of Luke the Warrior. Unbowed by cruelty and torture, he lies in a dark prison pit and plots his escape. One day, he vows, he will return to bring down the tyrant and rid the countryside of evil forever. And so begins this stirring tale of bravery, love, treachery and deceit that will thrill all lovers of intrigue and adventure. This sixth epic story in the chronicles of Redwall solves the mystery of the early years of Martin, legendary hero of Redwall, whose spirit has been the inspiration for so many great warriors...
