When the clever and greedy wildcat Tsarmina becomes Queen of the Thousand Eyes and ruler of the peaceful woodlanders with an iron claw, bringing every otter and hedgehog, every mouse and squirrel to its whimpering knees.
But then the brave mouse Martin and the quick-talking mousethief Gonff meet in the dungeon of Kotir Castle. With the aid of all the woodlanders, the two escape and resolve to end Tsarmina's tyrannical rule. Joind by Dinny the mole, Martin and Gonff set off on a dangerous quest for Salamandastron, mountain of dragons, where they are convinced that their only hope, Boar the FIghter, still lives. . . .
This book is very entertaining. It moves at a pretty good pace but their are sections that are a little slow and could use some work. I liked how the author manages to use animals in place of people and sometimes you can almost forget that they are animals. Then something happens and you are reminded that it is animals not humans. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy
