Mara, Samkin, Pikkle and Aura meet up and hear the battle raging at Salmandastron. So they help out in the war and defeat Ferahgo and his vermin. The four friends corner the enemy that is in the mountain, they all do the final attack and kill off the enemy.
This is the greatest book ever! I have read it so intently my eyes have hurt. This book gives me the wish to be a character in the book. It is a sad and exciting book that has made me cry, laugh, gasp and squirm. My favorite character is Mara, she is a strong, brave young badger who would do anything to protect her father, her only family she has known. It is just a lovely tale that I love!
