Rose is killed in the final battle by the very tyrant she had gone with Martin to defeat. Badrang and all of the vermin under his command, with the exception of mad Cap'n Tramun Clogg, are slain. The entire army then sails to Marshank and reach it in good timing, since the Rambling Rosehip Players are in a predicament. Boldred, a scholarly owl whom they met on the way to Noonvale, helps gather a huge army, including the pigmy shrews and the Gawtrybe (a group of savage squirrels). They gather an army there, but it is not large enough. They are eventually freed by saving the life of the Pygmy Queen's son, Dinjer, along with Pallum, who in turn joins up with them.Īfter a long series of adventures, the four adventurers reach Noonvale, Rose and Grumm's home. Meanwhile, Martin, Rose and Grumm meet a hedgehog named Pallum after being imprisoned by pigmy shrews. Felldoh and Brome meet up with the Rambling Rosehip Players, a travelling band of creatures, and join forces with them, eventually freeing the slaves as Brome bluffs his way into and out of Marshank, disguised as a rat from Captain Tramun Clogg's corsair crew.


However, in the ocean, Felldoh and Brome are separated from Rose, Martin, and Grumm. When that is accomplished, they decide to travel to Noonvale to rouse an army to attack Marshank. They become instrumental in helping Martin, along with a squirrel named Felldoh, and Rose's brother Brome, escape Marshank. When Badrang leaves Martin to be tortured by the weather and the birds, a young mousemaid named Laterose, or Rose (with whom Martin falls in love) and a mole named Grumm hear his cry of defiance. Martin the Warrior tells the story of a young mouse named Martin, a slave in Marshank under the cruel stoat Badrang the Tyrant.
