Before the reign of Firestar and Bluestar, and many moons before the clans set eyes on the lake, a cat dreamed of life as a warrior. She dreamed of becoming a valiant Thunderclan leader full of dignity and pride for her clan. Her name was Mapleshade. She had everything she could want. Loving clanmates, a cat that admired her, and even a soon to be deputy position. One mistake was what changed everything. A mistake that would not only haunt Mapleshade for endless moons, but one that would spill the blood of countless cats thereafter for all eternity....

What if a few events in Mapleshade's Vengeance were just a tiny bit different, how much would it change Mapleshade herself, and perhaps the destiny of the clans themselves?

Sagepaw, Nightpaw, and Timberpaw have all choosen their destinies but there has been an interference. StarClan's prophecy comes in nearer as the three ThunderClan apprentices grow older and more mature. Threats from the Dark Forest hang grimly over the thoughts of the StarClan warriors as the watch the Clans go about their days oblivious to the pending time when the shadowy cats shall strike again. Another danger has fallen across the Clan cats. Bramble, a murderous rogue, is preparing to overthrow the Clans. Was the three cat's choice in their path the right one? Or had they choosen the way to their inevitable doom.
