A new page in the chronicle of Redwall Abbey! From the land of eternal ice came the barbarian Gulo to the Forest of Flowering Moss. Hatred and a thirst for revenge sent him in pursuit of his own brother - his main rival and contender for the throne. Irreconcilable enemies met at the walls of Redwall, so that after a mortal battle the winner would receive not only the Wandering Stone, a symbol of power, but also the abbey itself. Danger looms over Redwall, but Racket Tam, a warrior whose sword knows no defeat and whose word is stronger than steel, stands up to protect civilians.
