Nightshade Chronicles series.
In this series conclusion, unscrupulous rat Billycan appears to have changed his ways. He returns to Trillium to help stop a coup, but there's another plot afoot. Rats are disappearing, and it seems that the pernicious corporation Prince Pharmaceuticals is to blame. With a slew of earnest rodent characters and much political intrigue, fans of the Redwall books should enjoy this series.

Nightshade Chronicles series.
Three years after Nightshade City's victory, the community of rats once again faces a foe from the Catacombs: Billycan the assassin has built up a new following. After an undercover agent foils another plot against the city, the hunt is on for a traitor. Earnest rodent characters, dramatic secrets, political intrigue, and the promise of more keep these chronicles fresh.
