Book description
Queen Silth rules Castle Marl from behind the curtains of her
palanquin. Greedy and vain, she has sent her six children into the
world to plunder treasure. Stealth and cunning are the traits of the
Marlfox. Known only in Redwall country by legend, they are said to
able to appear and disappear by magic.
When the strange creatures begin to appear in Mossflower Woods, it
is clear that evil is abroad. A kidnapping and a cunning raid to steal
the beautiful Redwall tapestry confirm the worst; Redwall is under
threat! Three young friends, fated by the prophecy of Martin the
Warrior, pursue the villains in a quest of daring, courage and wit to
return the beloved tapestry to its home.
