"Across the seas comes Vizka Longtooth, with a scurrilous crew of Sea Raiders bound for plunder and conquest. Aboard, a young badger lies captive. The aged Badger Lord of Salamandastron sends forth a hare-maid, questing for his successor. A young thief is exiled from Redwall. A Brownrat chieftain, with his savage horde, ravages Mossflower Country. The fate of all these creatures, both good and evil, is caught up in this saga of war and destiny.
Over the cold Nrothern Isles, across the heaving seas, sweeping through forest and plain, from the legendary badger mountain to the ancient stones of Redwall Abbey, the warcry thunders out. . .
Eulaliiiiiiaaaaa!"
This book is the first and only book in which the badger (In this book, Gorath) takes out his arch-nemeses (Vizka Longtooth) without suffering from a fit of Bloodwrath. Admittedly, Gorath had great attacks of the Bloodwrath, some of the worst fits of all badgers. But, he forces himself to break free from those chains in order to protect his friends and himself. Even when it is only his enemy and himself, he kills Vizka without going completely mad. Brian Jacques added an interesting new twist to the Redwall series in this book.
