Erin Hunter

Tigerclaw is back and more dangerous than ever as the new leader of ShadowClan, but he is not the most terrifying enemy Fireheart must face as a new force sweeps through the woods.

As Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovepaw continue to seek answers to the mysterious prophecy that binds them, they learn that another cat may play an essential role in defeating the Dark Forces.

When an outsider appears in the ThunderClan's midst, it drives the Clans further apart and as tension mounts they must decide who they can trust before it is too late.

Fireheart, the warrior cat, faces many challenges in his new role of ThunderClan deputy as his apprentice, Cloudpaw, resists following the warrior code, Bluestar weakens, and Tigerclaw continues to haunt the forest seeking revenge.

As prophesized, a young house cat becomes an apprentice warrior in a clan of wild cats, where he faces many dangers and treachery both within and outside of his new clan.

As Dovepaw, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze strive to understand and fulfill the prophecy that promises them great power, the cats of the Dark Forest begin to teach battle skills and techniques to different Clan cats through dreams.

With the rivalry between Gray Wing and Clear Sky boiling over, Thunder and Gray Wing search for a peaceful path to the future.

Gravely injured, Frostpaw places her trust in a young warrior, convincing him to protect her as she follows StarClan's cryptic directions toward the roots of RiverClan, where she hopes to find the answers she so desperately seeks while staving off a war between the clans.

"The Wild Dogs' fierce Alpha reluctantly agrees to let the Leashed Dogs join their pack--but after learning of Lucky's role as a spy, Alpha casts him out of their camp and orders him to never return"--

"In a leaderless RiverClan, medicine cat apprentice Frostpaw is desperate to guide her Clanmates down the right path--while Tigerstar watches their every move. Within ShadowClan and ThunderClan, the changes to the warrior code stretch tempers to the tipping point, where one wrong move could prove that peace among the Clans can never last for long."--
