Lavenderpaw and her siblings, the kits of two great warriors, become apprentices when they are four moons old. Thunderclan and Shadowclan have come together threatining Riverclan and Windclan to make more warriors. Lavenderpaw being the oldest decides to do everything she can to save her younger siblings from the dangers of their lives.

Snowflake's life is perfect. Well... almost perfect besides the fact that her brother, Firestar, is the leader of a group of forest cats called Thunderclan, and her mate is haunted by a dark past, and oh yeah there's also a bloodthirsty dog, an evil fox, a badger, a skunk with anger issues... hmm... maybe it isn't so perfect... Either way, Snowflake was living the dream until a strange dream turns her world upside down.
