    .

    New York Times bestselling author Brian Jacques gives us another tale of Redwall, filled with “The Knights of the Round Table with paws” (The Sunday Times) along with their friends and enemies.

    Many seasons ago, the evil ferret warlord known as Swartt Sixclaw abandoned his infant son and left him for dead.

    Raised among the good creatures of Redwall Abbey, the ferret Veil could never escape his father’s tainted blood. And when he committed an forgivable crime, Veil was banished from the abbey forever.

    Now, Swartt Sixclaw and his vicious hordes of searats and vermin are on the warpath. And The Outcast of Redwall must choose his destiny—a friend or foe of Redwall Abbey…

     “The medieval world of Redwall Abbey—where gallant mouse warriors triumph over evil invaders—has truly become the stuff of legend.” –Seattle Post-Intelligencer
     
     “A grand adventure story. Once the reader is hooked, there is no peace until the final page.” –Chicago Sun-Times
     
     “Jacques’s effortless, fast-paced narrative gets its readers quickly hooked. He clearly loves this other world he has created—there’s a genius sense of involvement and care (lots of lovingly descriptive passages), as well as an overflowing, driving imagination.” –Birmingham Post
     
    “Redwall is both an incredible and ingratiating place, one to which readers will doubtless cheerfully return.” –New York Times Book Review
     
     “An excellent adventure with an enlightened conscience. Brilliantly complex. With vibrant and distinct animal characters, Jacques’s classically inspired plot-weaving achieves virtuosity.” –Publishers Weekly
     
     “Only a churl would reject this morality play in fur.” –Kirkus Reviews

     “A richly imagined world in which bloody battles vie for attention with copious feasting and tender romancing. Where males and females are heroes and warriors. Where the young triumph and the old endure. Where intelligence is as valued as strength and wit is frequently more important than size…[Jacques] continues to surprise and delight with intriguing plots and fresh faces.” –Cincinnati Enquirer
     
     “The Knights of the Round Table with paws.” –The Sunday Times (London)
