Risu must lead a rebellion. Risu returns home to warn her people that the coal-hearted Blodtorstig sails for Kinoumi's shores. The island is unprotected, and all attempts to bolster their defenses have failed, sabotaged by their island's own leader. Juggling uneasy alliances, Risu finds that it is up to her to alert the cities to the impending danger, even if it means she must defy those who stand in her way. Blodtorstig will stop at nothing until Kinoumi falls under his iron paws. Major cities lie in unrest, easy targets for the approaching invader. Rumors abound that some nobles will pledge themselves to him in exchange for wealth and protection. If Risu can't convince the faithful to turn on their lords and prepare for the upcoming fight, the starvation and ruin that has plagued the other islands will devour Kinoumi. Fans young and old of REDWALL and USAGI YOJIMBO will love the high-flying, blade-slicing action of SHADOWS PROTECT THEM
