For centuries, the elemental cat groups EarthClan, FireClan, and WaterClan have lived in harmony together. Small skirmishes were never a problem, nor were any outsiders to the Clans. Newly-apprenticed Houndpaw finds the abilities of his Clanmates odd, but is excited nonetheless for his own revealance and his making of a warrior. With his friends Bloodpaw and Ochrepaw, all seems well; until a mystery about his deceased blood parents is revealed and his whole world comes crashing down. On the other side of the border, a villainous she-cat by the nickname "Dark" has been sent from the shadows of hell to steal every power from the Clan cats and keep them for herself. Young Houndpaw may be inexperienced, but he knows he must do something about Dark; especially when she's involved in a cult, sacrifices, and killings. Will Houndpaw, Bloodpaw, and Ochrepaw be able to save the elemental Clans? Or will their peaceful world dissolve under the claws of Dark?
