From the back cover: "Gaze into the fire, young one," said Bella of Brockhall to the small mouse. "Listen to me, and I will tell you a story..." So begins an epic tale of drama, magic and adventure: a tale that tells how a brave young mouse called Martin chanced by Mossflower woods to find a cruel family of wildcats ruling the area. Martin's bravery led him into an amazing struggle against the foces of evil, in this stunning novel. A paragraph from the book: For a moment, Martin's eyes met those of Tsarmina's. His voice was clear and unafraid. "You should have killed me when you had the chance, because I vow that I will slay you one day." The spell was broken. The guards hauled on the ropes, dragging Martin off to the cells. In the silence that followed, Tsarmin slumped in her chair and sniggered. "A mouse kill me, indeed! He's not even worth worrying about." |
