Seasons of peace have left the mountain stronghold with few fighters, and the approximately 150 hares that remain are long past their prime. Meanwhile, at Salamandastron, Lord Stonepaw, the aging father of Brocktree, rules. With his three companions, as well as a tribe of Guosim shrews, he journeys to the court of King Bucko Bigbones to find aid in the recapture of Salamandastron from the wildcat Ungatt Trunn. Along the way he meets the quick-talking haremaid Dotti, otter Ruffgar Brookback and mole Gurth.
