"Lucky and the rest of the Leashed Dogs have settled in the forest--but a vicious Pack has claimed the land, and will stop at nothing to ensure that it is theirs alone"--

A prophecy foretells that three ThunderClan cats will hold the power of the stars in their paws, but although Jayfeather and Lionblaze know that they are two of the cats in the prophecy, they must determine who the third cat is.

A lion cast out from his tribe. An elephant who can read the bones of the dead. A baboon rebelling against his destiny.

As Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Jaypaw, grandchildren of the legendary Firestar, continue their training to be warrior cats, each is haunted by a different internal struggle that could lead to trouble for all Clans.

"The cats from the mountains completed their journey and have settled in the forest at the end of the sun trail. But tensions have reached a breaking point--and a young cat named Thunder is caught helplessly in the middle"--
