The new volume of the Eisner Award-winning Mouse Guard series continues! On an unmapped island, Celanawe and Em discover the land of Ilder ruled by a ferret king. Shipwrecked and with no sign of their ship's captain, Conrad, they become the audience of Ilder's imposing sovereign and hear of his hunger, his power and his fear - all while a mythic weapon dangles just out of reach, preventing destiny from marching forward for the bloodline of Farrer, forger of the Black Axe!
