Summary
Martin the Warrior has been captured by Badrang the Tyrant, and is slaving at Fort Marshank. He meets fellow slaves Felldoh and Brome, and the two of them are rescued by Brome's sister Laterose of Noonvale and her mole friend Grumm. In their escape, they are separated. Brome and Felldoh meet the Rambling Rosehip Players, a traveling troupe, who help them liberate slaves from Marshank. Felldoh's lust for revenge eventually leads him to launch a solitary attack on the fort, where he abuses Badrang and kills many vermin before finally being overwhelmed and slain. Martin, Rose, and Grumm trek back to the peaceful community of Noonvale, where Martin tries to convince Rose's parents, Urran and Aryah Voh to organize an army for a final attack on Marshank. At last, they relent, and Martin sucessfully kills Badrang and reclaims his father Luke's sword. Rose, however, is killed, and Martin does not feel comfortable staying on at Noonvale, so he heads south into Mossflower Woods.
