Survivors: The Gathering Darkness #5: The Exile's Journey

A loyal dog must make her way alone in this gripping fifth book in the second Survivors series.

From Erin Hunter, #1 nationally bestselling author of Warriors, Survivors is full of “wild and wonderful adventure” (Kirkus; starred review) that will thrill fans of Spirit Animals and Wings of Fire.

Storm is in exile—and though she’s finally free of the suspicion of her Packmates, she feels more lost than ever. There are only two dogs she knows will never give up on her: Arrow and his mate, Bella.

To find them, Storm must fight through longpaw dangers, Leashed Dogs, and a forbidding pack of wolves, all in search of a place where she might finally belong.

But with enemies on all sides and allies far away, can this lone dog truly make it on her own?

• Exiled Protagonist: Cast out by the Pack she once called family, Storm must grapple with betrayal and the challenge of surviving in a world that sees her as an enemy.
• A Quest for Belonging: Storm's only hope lies in finding her friends Arrow and Bella. Her journey to reunite with them is fraught with peril and will test her resolve at every turn.
