As Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovepaw continue trying to understand the mysterious prophecy that binds them, Jayfeather receives a desperate plea for help from the Tribe of the Rushing Water.

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.

"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"--

After the SkyClan returns to its rightful place among the warrior clans, not all the cats are convinced this is where the SkyClan belongs, leaving the clans' fate uncertain.

Winter has fallen again, threatening the cats with hunger and freezing temperatures. The spirit-cats have told them they must spread like the Blazing Star in order to survive. Clear Sky wants to ally all cats to himself, but not all cats want to--like Gray Wing and Thunder, or Tall Shadow who wants to make a new camp, or River Ripple, or Wind Runner. No one wants to leave, but if they don't they will die.

"The warrior cat Clans have enjoyed many moons of peace and prosperity--but a dark season approaches, and those days will soon be over. Guided by a mysterious vision, the young apprentice Alderpaw of ThunderClan must go on a dangerous journey...a journey that may be the Clans' only hope." --

"For many moons, a tribe of cats has lived peacefully near the top of a mountain. But prey is scarce and seasons are harsh--and their leader fears they will not survive. When a mysterious vision reveals a land filled with food and water, a group of brave young cats sets off in search of a better home. But great dangers await them. In this unfamiliar world, faced with loners and fierce rogues all vying for territory and power, the traveling cats must...

When the rogue Slash kidnaps Star Flower and makes demands for prey, Clear Sky works to reunite the groups and execute a daring plan to rescue his mate and the kits she carries.

"After countless moons of treachery, Tigerstar's Dark Forest apprentices are ready to lay siege upon the warrior Clans. As Jayfeather, Dovewing, and Lionblaze prepare to lead their Clanmates into battle, they await the arrival of the mysterious fourth warrior who is prophesied to help lead the Clans to glory."

Gray Wing and Clear Sky have very different visions of how to heal the divisions between the cats of the forest, visions that make war inevitable. Now Thunder and the rest of the cats must pick sides in the upcoming civil war among mountain cats, rogues, and kittypets.
