Amidst ongoing strife within and between the Clans of warrior cats, Brambleclaw is tempted by the dark plans of his father and brother, and the meaning of Leafpool's ominous visions becomes clear.

For generations, four clans of wild cats have shared the forest. When their warrior code is threatened by mysterious deaths, a house cat named Rusty may turn out to be the bravest warrior of all.

As they journey home to warn their clans of the coming destruction, the six cats, guided by StarClan's prophecy, meet an unfamilar tribe of cats with their own set of beliefs--and their own mysterious prophecy.

Fireheart, a full-fledged warrior cat, must confront questions of loyalty and identity as he faces the possibility of betrayal from within his own forest clan.

"For many moons, ThunderClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, and WindClan have lived in peace in their territories around the lake. But now they must decipher a mysterious prophecy--a message that will send one young medicine cat apprentice on a quest to determine the fate of all the warrior Clans"--Publisher.

Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw, the children of the ThunderClan warriors Squirelflight and Brambleclaw, learn their powers can help the Clan and begin their apprenticeships; and a prophecy warns of trouble.

Leafstar struggles to maintain control of her Clan as she figures out how Skyclan can survive in the gorge.

"A group of rogues now rules the pine forest, and their cruel leader, Darktail, will not stop until he has conquered the rest of the Clans. Alderheart is more certain than ever that their only hope is to find the lost SkyClan and fulfill StarClan's prophecy--before Darktail's vicious reign puts an end to the warrior Clans forever . . ."--OCLC.

The deadly battle between ThunderClan and ShadowClan is finally over. Now the three cats who are prophesied to hold the power of the stars in their paws are more determined than ever to stop the flow of evil into ThunderClan.
