Publisher's summary

A shadow has fallen on the shore of the Eastern sea, a shadow called Marshank. In this cold stone fortress, a stoat named Badrang holds dozens of innocent creatures as slaves, part of his scheme to build an empire where he will rule as unquestioned tyrant.

Among those slaves is a mouse named Martin who has a warrior's heart and a burning desire for freedom: freedom not only for himself, but for all of Badrang's victims. There is no risk he will not take, no battle he will not fight, to end the stoat's evil reign, and in the process regain the sword of his father, Luke the Warrior: the sword that Badrang stole from him when he was but a lad.

Once again master storyteller Brian Jacques has crafted an epic adventure and filled it to the bursting point with unforgettable characters, including villains so hilariously evil you'll barely be able to keep from hissing at them and loveable woodland creatures so brave you'll want to stand and cheer as they fight for their freedom.

Critic reviews

Praise for the Redwall series

“Brian Jacques has the true fantasy writer’s ability to create a wholly new and believable world.” (School Library Journal)

“Redwall is both an incredible and ingratiating place, one to which readers will doubtless cheerfully return.” (New York Times Book Review)

“An excellent adventure with an enlightened conscience. Brilliantly complex. With vibrant and distinct animal characters, Jacques’s classically inspired plot-weaving achieves virtuosity.” (Publishers Weekly)

I’ve fallen in love with these books!

What a marvelous, captivating performance!These are the audio books I escape to after work. These are books you don’t ever out grow.

1 of the best children's book series

this is 1 of the best childrens book series i have ever read . it feels likethe old 60s disney cartoons

phenomenal

Loved it just as much as I did when I first read it 10 years ago.

One of my Favorite books of all time.

The Legendary story of the Warrior Guardian of Redwall, in all its glory, and all it's Sadness.

Wtf is up with the chapter number narrator?!

This book, like all the Redwall series books, is recorded really well with one issue. The woman narrating the chapter numbers sounds like she’s some sort of kidnapping victim on lithium. It’s the most bizarre and disorienting voice and tone to mark new chapters while the general narrators voice is soothing and great. Such a bizarre choice and really makes this book a bummer compared to others in the series.

Awesome!

Hard to put down at times like many of the books in the redwall series.

Great voice performers

I vastly prefer reading words on a page to listening to a narrator and performers because I'm far less easily distracted. Nevertheless, it was spectacularly performed and I intend to listen to the next book as soon as I get another credit from Audible.

Great audiobook

Read this book as a kid and decided to pick it up and check out the audible version. It was great. The book is as good as I remember and the voice actors did a great job. High recommend this book to anyone

Brilliant

It is so brilliant to have a full cast to record an audio book. I first started The Redwall Series in 5th grade with his first book 'Redwall' and immediately fell in love. Brian Jacques is a rare writer who makes you feel as his characters do. For a work of fiction to make you feel anything is a great feat, Jacques understands this and creates characters that all deserve their own tale. This is a great series to read and an even better one to listen to

Fun but Sad!

I think it was great but I think they could of found a happier ending!
