Into the woodlanders' midst comes Martin the Warrior, who becomes fast friends with Gonff the mousethief and others they soon set off to find the only warrior who can lead them to victory. Kotir is the name of the group holed up at the castle, led by Tsarmina, a wildcat who poisons her father and imprisons her good brother Gingivere so that she may rule in her own way.

Right from the start of this rousingly old-fashioned prequel to Redwall, readers will submerge themselves in the culture of the woodlanders and their council, the Corim, against the wicked Kotir.
