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.

The warrior cat Fireheart's determination to uncover the truth about another warrior's death leads him deep into danger, and reveals secrets that test the strength of clan loyalties.

Firestar's grandchildren--Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw--progress in their training to become warrior cats and are drawn for different reasons to the mountains and the Tribe of Rushing Water.

After the warrior cat Clans settle into their new homes, the harmony they once had disappears as the clans start fighting each other, until the day their common enemy--the badger--invades their territory.

When Firestar's grandchildren, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather, finally discover who their true parents are, there are dire consequences for ThunderClan and the Warrior Code.

"Yellowfang is a loyal ShadowClan cat through and through--but she is haunted by a dark secret from her past that could threaten the future of the warrior Clans"--

"The impostor walking in Bramblestar's paw steps retreats to the Dark Forest, where the other Clans must follow if they hope to restore their connection with their ancestors in StarClan"--

"In the midst of the coldest leaf-bare any warrior can remember, the Clans have lost their connection with their warrior ancestors, and only one ShadowClan apprentice can still hear their voices--or their warning about the new shadow rising within the warrior Clans"--

"The Clans have finally arrived in their new home, and now they must establish territories and uncover the hidden dangers of this unfamiliar world. But the threats they faced in the forest may not be as perilous as the threats they face from within" -- Page [4] of cover.

Sent on a journey that could change the fate of all of the warrior clans, Hawking, deputy of SkyClan, must find the kin of Firestar, the cat who once brought their clan back from obscurity.
