In this installment in the popular Redwall series, Martin the Warrior sets out to seek his birthplace, hoping to learn about his father. After a long trek, he and his companions meet some elderly creatures who tell him the legend of his father, who left young Martin in order to avenge his wife's death at the hands of Vilu Daskar, the evil pirate stoat. As usual, the fantasy is filled with feasting, fighting, and great camaraderie.
