The Builders is Redwall meets Unforgiven, combining the endearing wit of Disney's Robin Hood with all the grit and violence of a spaghetti western." — Myke Cole, author of the Shadow Ops series At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
