Book #18: ‘High Rhulain’

The title of Brian’s post-Rakkety Tam book (#18 of The Redwall Series) has been revealed– lurking in a corner of the internet for nearly three months!

In a September interview with Berkshires Week, Brian revealed that the title of his next book is High Rhulain!

I end the interview by asking Jacques what he’ll be working on next. He says he’s just finished writing the 18th Redwall book. “It’s called ‘High Rhulain [pronounced roo-lane],’ he reveals, adding, teasingly, “and I’m not going to tell you anything more about it.” Like any great storyteller, Brian Jacques knows how to hook his audience and keep them in suspense.

You can read the full article here.

It should be mentioned that the article itself spells the title “High Rhulian”. However, the popular site Locus Online also lists the book title, spelled “High Rhulain”. Given the known pronunciation (roo-lane), “High Rhulain” seems more likely and is the spelling The Redwall Newsline shall use for now.

High Rhulain hits shelves in September.

Stay tuned to the Newsline for more details.
