The Legend of Luke is a captivating tale from the Redwall series, penned by the masterful storyteller Brian Jacques. This twelfth installment takes readers back in time, unveiling the legend of the first of the magnificent Redwall warriors—Luke, father of Martin.

Accompanied by Trimp the Hedgehog, Dinny Foremole, and Gonff—the ever-mischievous Prince of Mousethieves—Martin embarks on a perilous journey to the northland shore. It is here that his father abandoned him as a child.

Within the remains of a great red ship, broken and wedged high between stone pillars, Martin uncovers the story he has long sought: the tale of the evil pirate stoat, Vilu Daskar, and the valiant mousewarrior who pursued him relentlessly over the high seas, determined to destroy Vilu at all costs, even if it meant deserting his only son.

This story is a perfect adventure for fans of T. A. Barron’s Merlin saga, John Flanagan’s Ranger’s Apprentice, and J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. It's a swashbuckling adventure told with great gusto, immersing readers in a world of bravery and epic battles.
