A feral cat, born and raised in Treeclan, looks all set to become the perfect warrior that her clan needs to protect them from harsh seasons and deadly rivalries. She has a mother, father, sister, and a best friend who hopes to someday be her mate. But when a strange cat from an enemy clan saves Gingerpelt's life, she begins to fall for him. She's breaking every law in the Warrior Code but she doesn't know how to stop the torrent of passion that's welling up inside her. Both cats lives are in grave danger, their clans on the brink of war, and Gingerpelt knows she cannot harm her mate. But they're both bound by the Warrior Code, so what can they do when Gingerpelt and her clan realises she's carrying kits... and every tom in Treeclan knows that they're not his?
