Description
Discover the origins of the warrior Clans in this thrilling prequel to Erin Hunter’s #1 nationally bestselling Warriors series
The fifth book in the Dawn of the Clans series takes readers back to the earliest days of the Clans, when the cats first settled in the forest and began to forge the warrior code.
The spirit-cats have spoken: to survive, the cats from the mountains must grow and spread like the Blazing Star. Clear Sky believes the only way to grow is to band together again, but few cats are willing to ally with him. While Tall Shadow plans to establish a new camp in the pine forest, River Ripple is content by the water, and Wind Runner has made her own home on the moor.
The time has now come for all cats to decide where they will live—and where their allegiances truly lie.
Also contains an exclusive bonus scene!
- Choosing Allegiances: With the forest dividing, every cat—from leader to kit—must choose a side. Will they follow Clear Sky's dream of unity or forge their own path with Tall Shadow, River Ripple, or Wind Runner?
- The First Warrior Clans: Witness the very beginnings of the five Clans. As new camps are established on the moor, in the pine forest, and by the river, the traditions that will one day become the warrior code start to take shape.
- A Prophecy to Fulfill: The spirit-cats have commanded the mountain cats to “grow and spread like the Blazing Star,” but its meaning is tearing them apart. Is division the only way to survive?
- Epic Animal Fantasy: Perfect for fans of adventure and animal stories, this thrilling middle grade series from #1 bestselling author Erin Hunter continues the epic origin story of the warrior cats.
