Description

An epic tale of the courageous mouse, Matthias, as he embarks on a daring quest to defend Redwall Abbey from the vicious rat, Cluny the Scourge. He must retrieve the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior to stand a chance against the fearsome rat army. Welcome to Mossflower Wood, where the gentle mice have gathered to celebrate a year of peace and abundance. All is well until a sinister shadow falls across the ancient stone abbey of Redwall. Rumored that Cluny is coming, the terrible one-eyed rat and his savage horde, who has vowed to conquer Redwall Abbey. The only hope for the besieged mice lies in the lost sword of the legendary Martin the Warrior. Thus begins the epic quest of a bumbling young apprentice--a courageous mouse who would rise up, fight back, and become a legend himself. Perfect for fans of T. A. Barron's Merlin saga, John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series, and J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series. 'The medieval world of Redwall Abbey--where gallant mouse warriors triumph over evil invaders--has truly become the stuff of legend.' --Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Soon to be a Netflix original movie and one of TIME Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time.
