Driven by their blood-frenzied master, a merciless army of rats swarms toward the underground mouse-city of Tira-Nor. Only one mouse has the courage to face the onslaught, the "Runt" JaRed son of ReDemec. But JaRed is about to encounter a power beyond the rat army, beyond even that of the Great Owl ... a power that will fling him into a destiny wilder than anything he's ever imagined!
"Schwabauer combines the best of Narnia, Middle Earth and his own talent in this unforgettable retelling of David & Goliath." - Church Libraries
