Redwall.org has finally revealed some information about Brian’s upcoming ‘Redwall’ book, High Rhulain (this, as well as listings on other reliable sources, confirms the “Rhulain” spelling).
The summary reads as follows:
Young Tiria Wildlough is an ottermaid touched by the paw of destiny. Her epic adventure takes her on a journey from Redwall Abbey across the Great Western Sea, to the mysterious Green Isle. There she must fulfill an ancient prophecy and gain her inheritance.
Green Isle is home to the otterclans, but they are beset by dangers from Wildcat chieftain Riggu Fellis and his catguard slave masters. Aided by two birds and a platoon of Long Patrol hares, Tiria joins forces with the outlaw leader of the otterclans in a battle that will test all their courage and skill.
In the true tradition of Redwall comes a new saga full of feasts and fighting, riddles and quests, and a heroine you’re not likely to forget as she strives to become the chosen one—the High Rhulain!
High Rhulain has a US shelf-date of September 8th, 2005 (ISBN# 0399242082). No UK release date has been announced, although a September/October date seems likely.
