It's been moons since the Great Shake and the clans have been scattered and are now yearning for food. As a bone weary kit named Clearkit steps up to save the clans, her world changes as she befriends a fox named Lark, a badger named Night, a dog named Lucky, and a soulful stargazing adder who yearns for his family, his mate killed by a small black and white cat. She must collect the scattered clans and bring them together once more.
