When he was very young, a badger named Sunshine was captured by the ruthless Svart Sixclaw. For many seasons he endured the bullying of the robber's servants, until the spirit of the legendary ancestors - the rulers of Salamandastron - proved stronger than chains and ropes. Having broken free, the former captive became a Great Warrior - the Country of Flowering Moss has not seen such a decisive and merciless defender of the offended for a long time, but the badger thought only about revenge on the hated enemy. From now on, Swart Sixclaw is doomed to live in fear of retribution, but he does not even suspect that he has another deadly enemy - his own son, who was once sheltered by Redwall Abbey.
