Redwall Book #8: Outcast of Redwall

From the back cover:
   "Each of us is born to follow a star, be it bright and shining, or dark and fated..."
   One winter night a feud is struck between a ferret and a badger, and from that moment their destinies are fatally entwined. By turns Swartt Sixclaw and his sworn arch enemy, Sunflash the Mace, become the hunter and the hunted.
   As the saga of their lifelong enmity rages from the north to the east wastelands, the abbess of Redwall banishes a young creature from the Abbey. Her harsh sentence forces a heart-breaking decision upon a young Redwall mousemaid - one linking her fate to...the Outcast of Redwall.

A paragraph from the book:
   "Eeulaliaaaaaa!"
   The camp came to life instantly. Two vermin fell under the club as the badger threw himself at Swartt. Before the ferret had half drawn his sword the badger's club thudded hard against his foe's sixclawed paw. Swartt screeched and fell back injured, yelling to his creatures, "Stop him! Kill him!"
   Skarlath saw the badger disappear under a crowd of vermin as they tried to bring him down, and he hurtled in, ripping and stabbing with beak and talons. Though the badger was weighted by foebeasts, none could fell him. He stood like a mighty young oak, flailing the club, his deep-throated warcry ringing through the forest.
   "Eeulaliaaaaa!"
