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.

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 youčre not likely to forget as she strives to become the chosen one‹the High Rhulain!

A fantastic, brand new title in the bestselling, award-winning Redwall saga.
