It's a summer where roses bloom late, and the mice of the Red City Kingdom are preparing a grand feast, unaware that danger is lurking ahead; the war maniac Cranly is leading the evil mouse army to invade the Red City. To seize the Red City is Cranly's greatest goal in life. But strangely, Cranly often dreams of a mouse clad in armor, holding a sword, staring at him with an imposing gaze, as if determining his fate. War then begins. The mice of the Red City can only defeat Cranly's attack by solving a mysterious poem and finding the sword of the late hero Martin. The young Matthias swears to find the sword. He overcomes countless hardships and succeeds in his quest. With the magic of the sword, the Red City repels Cranly's frenzied attacks time and time again, ultimately slaying the giant snake and achieving a decisive victory. Matthias grows into the great hero of the Red City.

These animals stage a series of suspenseful, mysterious, magical, and humorous stories that leave readers holding their breath from the very first page, unable to put the book down. This is the first work in the Red City Animal Fantasy Series by Brian Jacques, beloved by children worldwide for its captivating story and emotional resonance.
