As Swartt Sixclaw gathers a massive horde of vermin to march against Redwall, the banished ferret finds himself caught in the middle of a massive war. Now, Veil faces an impossible choice. Will he join the terrifying warlord who shares his bloodline, or will he risk everything to protect the creatures who turned him away?
