Fawnleap is a young warrior in MapleClan, and like any warrior she wants to be the best she can be. But in order to be the best you need to know yourself, and Fawnleap soon starts to realize that she doesn't know as much about herself as she thought. Fawnleap discovers that being a warrior is not about where your roots were planted, it's about how those roots grow. Although Fawnleap has always known where her loyalties lie, unlikely friendships, uncovering secrets, and understanding the past all challenge her true desires, and make her really think about how she wants to live her life, and where she wants to live it.
