Bookroo's summary

Rakkety Tam, a daring Highlander squirrel, embarks on a mission to Mossflower Wood, only to be captivated by Redwall Abbey's allure. But danger looms as Gulo the Savage, a fearsome wolverine, seeks the mystical Walking Stone. As the Long Patrol rallies and a renegade vole stirs trouble, a new hero must rise to wield Martin's legendary sword. Will Tam's heart and courage be enough to protect the Abbey from this beastly threat? Dive into a world of adventure, where loyalty and bravery are tested at every turn.

From the publisher

There has never been a Redwall hero quite like Rakkety Tam, the roguish Highlander squirrel who sets off for Mossflower Wood on a mercenary errand and loses his heart to the charms of Redwall Abbey. And there’s never been a villain quite like Gulo the Savage: a vicious beast-eating wolverine who descends upon the Abbey in search of a relic called the Walking Stone. Readers will cheer at the return of the Long Patrol, the antics of a renegade vole thief, and the emergence of a new champion to wield the sword of Martin. As fans of Brian Jacques and Redwall know, the adventures just keep getting bigger and bigger.
