Synopsis:
"A missing eye.  A broken wing.  A stolen country.  The last job didn't end well.

Years go by, and scars fade, but memories only fester. For the animals of the Captain's company, survival has meant keeping a low profile, building a new life, and trying to forget the war they lost. But now the Captain's whiskers are twitching at the idea of evening the score."

"Redwall meets Unforgiven".
