[edit] Summary

This book revolves around the Badger Lord Brocktree, father of Boar the Fighter, grandfather of Bella of Brockhall, and great-grandfather of Sunflash the Mace. He sets out to find the mountain of Salamandastron, aided by the quick talking haremaid Dotti and otter Ruffgar Brookback. With his two companions, as well as a tribe of Guoism shrews, set off to the court of King Bucko Bigbones.

Meanwhile, at Salamandastron rules Lord Stonepaw. Years of peace have left the mountain stronghold with few fighters, and those that remain (around fifty hares) are long past their prime. Ungatt Trunn sends his messenger, the Grand Fragorl, telling Salamandastron to surrender, but they refuse, and Stonepaw sends Fleetscut to look for help and allies. The mountain falls under attack by wildcat Ungatt Trunn and his horde. Eventually the mountain is overrun, where than they take their last stand in the underground pool. Stonepaw dies, only to allow a few surviving hares to ecape from their hide-out in the cellars of Salamandastron. They soon met up with a group of otters led by Brogalaw and his heron Rulango. The wildcat took at least sixty hares as prisoners, however, through the efforts of Stiffener Medick and the otters they escaped.

Thanks to the Bark Crew, the group of hares who had escaped from Trunn, as well as the sea otterclan of Brogalaw, the Blue Hordes slowly starved with their supplies cut off. In a final stand of the Bark Crew, which Trunn had tricked them into, Lord Brocktree joins forces and saves the day.

The book culminates into a massive final battle, with many memorable characters being killed off, such as Jukka the Sling, a female squirrel chieftain, and Fleetscut the hare. Eventually, when the battle ends up a near-stalemate, Trunn and Brocktree face off in a duel. After a failed assasination attempt on Brocktree, the badger eventually paralyzes Trunn by breaking his spine. He is thrown into the water but survives, only to be drowned by Groddil, one of his former advisors.
