Urthstripe the Strong, a wise old badger, leads the animals of the great fortress of Salamandastron and Redwall Abbey against the weasel Ferahgo the Assassin and his corps of vermin.

The murderous and evil Razzid Wearat and his crew of vermin are on a mission to seize Redwall Abbey for themselves, and Abbot Thibb and his Redwallers must defend their home with the help of the hares of the Longpatrol and the Rogue Crew of sea otters.

Bella of Brockhall, a badger, tells the story of how Martin the Warrior, a mouse, saved the Woodlanders from the harsh rule of Verdauga Greeneyes and his daughter, Tsarmina, back in the time before Redwall Abbey was built.

When Martin the Warrior leaves Redwall Abbey and embarks upon a journey to the place of his birth, he learns about the brave and noble deeds of his father Luke, a real Warrior Chieftain.

The courageous Redwall creatures band together as Vilaya, the evil Sable Quean, and her horde of vermin attempt to make off with the young animals of the Abbey.

When the peaceful life of ancient Redwall Abbey is shattered by the arrival of the evil rat Cluny and his villainous hordes, Matthias, a young mouse, determines to find the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior which, he is convinced, will help Redwall's inhabitants destroy the enemy.

With Cluny at the gates, the creatures of Redwall Abbey band together in defense. Will Basil prove his worth in the struggle? Or will he abandon them all in retreat? The epic continues as we discover the difference between friends and foes.
