Veil, the ferret son of warlord Swartt Sixclaw, was abandoned as a babe and raised by the gentle Bryony. Despite Redwall's doubts, Bryony believes Veil can overcome his dark heritage. But when he commits an unthinkable crime, Veil is banished. As Swartt's vicious horde attacks Redwall, Veil must choose: join his father's onslaught or protect the only one who ever loved him. In this eighth Redwall tale, Brian Jacques explores the complexities of good and evil, and whether one's nature can ever truly be changed.
