Dipperflight isn't okay. His relationships are toxic, and his entirety is aching. It's like crows pecking at your heart... they peck and peck and you just want to run away. Dipperflight's stuck though-- stuck with a terrible love in a Clan that doesn't understand how much he's hurting. He can't just run away. He'd be leaving behind family, friends, memories, morals, loyalties.... But the crows... Oh, the crows.... A story about relationships, loyalties, and love. LGBT+ characters, including the main character. Warning for abuse, darker themes, blood/gore

Nobody remembers the old clans. Instead, two new clans have been born from the ashes of the past: ColdClan, the sturdy and kind mountain dwellers, and HeatClan, the lithe cats living in the exposed plain below. For the previous year, the two clans have been in turmoil. StarClan has not sent any signs to either clan for as long as some can remember, and the threats of predators that each clan faces grow more intense with every passing heartbeat. Skypaw and Sunpaw, two sisters living in ColdClan, have found threats in those they thought they could trust. Their bond as siblings grows stronger with each day as those around them begin to betray them. But when four kits are born, two in ColdClan and two in HeatClan, the cats begin to think that StarClan still has hope for them. Can Skypaw and Sunpaw figure out the mystery surrounding their clan? Or will they succumb to the same fate as their ancestors; falling in the mountain lion's paws? [completed on the 4/07/15.] (c) cover by myself.
