For Batkit, leaving the nursery was supposed to be the start of her grand adventure. Instead, stepping into the apprentice's den turns her world upside down. Caught between a demanding father who expects perfection and an unsettling denmate watching her every move, the shadows of ThunderClan's forest feel closer than ever. But Batpaw's greatest enemy isn't outside the camp-it's the suffocating panic rising within her own mind. To survive her training, she'll have to find a new kind of courage. All rights reserved.
