Description

Imagine a city. A place where respectable men and women rub shoulders with thieves and madmen. A place where two runaway children can easily be lost among the smoke and grime. But beneath this city there is another world. A world of Courts and Warriors, where the rat Kingdom is ruled by the great King Tzuriel. This world is about to end. And it all starts with a young ratling called Efren...

Reviews

This novel deserves praise and prizes... powerful stuff and as much a Watership Down for our time as an alternative to the popular Redwall series... Bravo!' * The Times *
Skilful plotting, brisk narrative and sharply drawn characters put us firmly on the side of the ratpack and its gripping tale of apocalypse and triumph * Daily Mail *
Inspired. A much needed bit of rodent PR * The Sunday Herald *
a thoughtful, pacey adventure with a knack for conveying a rat's-eye-view * SFX *
The much maligned rat emerges as an intelligent and sensitive creature in this exciting novel * Independent *
