Synopsis

Salamandastron, ancestral home of the Badger Lords, is under threat from an enemy whose power would seem to be absolute and whose evil knows no bounds. Ungatt Trunn can make the stars fall from the sky, the very earth shake underfoot, and with a horde of vermin as numerous as the leaves in autumn, the wildcat appears unstoppable. The mountain's defences are weak. Lord Brocktree and Dotti the irrepressible haremaid journey to Salamandastron, gathering a host of brave creatures to fight alongside them in the ultimate struggle!
