In the perilous land of Southsward, the villainous foxwolf Urgan Nagru and his mate, Silvamord, have established a tyrannical reign, holding the mousemaid Mariel and her companion Dandin captive. Their only hope of escape rests on the shoulders of Mariel's father, Joseph the Bellmaker, who, tormented by visions of his lost daughter, sets out on a desperate quest to find the legendary warrior Martin. Meanwhile, in Redwall Abbey, the resident creatures are besieged by the relentless hordes of Nagru and Silvamord.
