Book description
The nomad clan of Sawney Rath can feel their fortunes changing, much
for the better. The Mighty One, the next great leader, has been born
within the walls of Redwall Abbey and, at any cost, Sawney Rath is
determined to harness the power of this magnificent beast - the deadly
Taggerung!
A baby otter is kidnapped from Redwall by Sawney's ruthless band of
villains called the Juska. They believe he is a Taggerung - a
legendary animal said to have supernatural fighting skills. The young
otter is raised by Sawney Rath as his own son and trained to be a
ruthless killer, but the Redwall spirit cuts deep and as the Taggerung
reaches adolescence he begins to dream of another life . . .
