[edit] Summary
The badger, Gorath and his grandparents were living happily until one day, the golden-furred pirate fox Captain Vizka Longtooth and his crew arrive at their door. The vermins destroyed Gorath's home, murdered his kinbeasts, took him captive abroard their ship, the Bludgullet. His brow is forever scarred by Vizka's cruel mace-and-chain. Hearing that his kinbeasts were murdered, Gorath silently promises to avenge their deaths and vows revenge on the pirates.
Meanwhile, a young haremaid named "Mad Maudie" (the Hon.) Mugsberry Thropple of Salamandastron is sent by Lord Asheye to search for a badger with the flame on his brow to succeed the aging Badger Lord. She teams up with the GUOSIM (Guerilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower). With Gruntan Kurdly and his crew of savage Brownrats on their tail, she must be quick, clever, and resourceful.
At Redwall, a young hedgehog named Orkwil Prink is caught stealing again. Wise Abbot Daucus banishes him from the Abbey for one season, where he gets captured by the Bludgullet 's crew. He unlocks Gorath's chains, being an expert thief, and they escape. The two journey back to Redwall to save it from Vizka Longtooth and the Sea Raiders and Gruntan Kurdly's Brownrats.
