Spring Anew
This is the first part of four novels largely inspired by Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats series. Each book follows a leader of one of the four clans- Springclan, Summerclan, Fallclan and Winterclan. Spring Anew follows Springclan's leader Newstar as he steps into a new leadership role and the struggles and successes that come with it. From gatherings to romances, from fights to starclan prophecies, Spring Anew is an alternate universe warrior cats series. I do not own or take credit for the warrior cats series nor the traditions and culture of the cats within it which are referenced in this series. Although I have tried to make the characters was unique as possible, there may be some name overlaps with Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats, if so, I do not own or take credit for these characters and do not assume that they are the same character as the one in the books. Please comment if you notice any grammar mistakes, spelling issues or just overall inaccuracies or boring parts to create the best possible experience for new readers. Whilst I appreciate all of your offers to collab or help, considering this is my first ever series, I'd rather keep all ideas in the comments section. That way it can be safe, and everyone can join in. Again, this is nothing against those offering to help, but I'd rather just write, see the feedback and do better on my next book. ⚠️Warning⚠️ This book contains themes of romance, violence, conflict, discrimination and otherworldly beings. Whilst none of these themes are particularly abrasive, please be aware that this book does touch all of these topics. All photos are Ai generated. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy/ed.Complete

The Whispering Storm || A Warrior Cats Fanfiction
Every disaster that threatens a Clan means StarClan will come and save you. You'll receive a prophecy that will save everything you love. The peril is vanquished in a battle, and there is no need for sleeping with one eye open anymore. StarClan will forever watch over you from your nest and keep you safe. That is what has been passed down from generations. Not every tale has to end like that: StarClan saving everyone with the chosen cat, everyone loving the hero or heroine - but it always does. So facing a challenge such as missing cats shouldn't be a challenging task. Moons pass on, cats keep disappearing faster and faster; nobody is doing anything to prevent the case. Everyone is relying on StarClan to send the prophecy to their medicine cat, just hoping that one day, the fiasco will end. Yet that's not the way fear works its way into hearts. Warriors, once brave and strong, now cowering behind one another. Apprentices with their eagerness to learn, now afraid of the outside world and going missing. Queens, always caring for their kits, now fearful of losing them to the mystery. Elders, who are as wise as the deepest river, now unable to provide an answers. With leaf-bare creeping up, the Clans are preparing for the harsh weather. Preparing for another season should be like gathering moss for the elders, but not this time. This time, the Clans are struggling just to assemble a hunting patrol and maintain borders. Forcing time out of daily tasks is asking the impossible. Leaf-bare is going to take the remaining lives of the cats that are lucky enough to even make it through leaf-fall. A silent storm will sweep across them and leave no traces; they might as well prepare to die in the white flakes of leaf-bare, covered up by mounds of snow, lost and forgotten. {This is a rewrite of my story and just like before, copying isn't allowed} {This is also a work of fanfiction! I do not own Warrior Cats!}Complete

Warriors - Burnt Skies
A fire. Caused by twolegs. And suddenly Nightpaw's entire life as she knows it has changed. The four clans that had ruled the territories for centuries have been wiped out. Now the future for any sort of clan rests in the paws of four apprentices. They will need to find a new territory, a new place to communicate with StarClan and, most importantly, cats to form a clan with. Will they survive? This story is set many moons after the great cats during Firestar's time were around. Also, any arcs after the first arc did not happen. DISCLAIMER I do not own warrior cats (Erin Hunter does), this is just a fanfic I made based off it. However, the plot idea and the characters belong to me so don't steal them. Like all warrior cats stories, there is an element of gore in it. You have been warned.
Warriors Cats Clichés
A phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. So now to make a book about unoriginal thoughts. Makes sense. And note, this isn't meant to embarrass anyone but a "guide". This was planned for fanfics but some might relate to the canon books. IDK *** I am currently adding my personal thoughts to these!Complete

ωαяяισя ¢αтѕ // Mintpool's Promise
cover by @chrxnicles- [book 1] დ In life, it's truly impossible to tell apart right or wrong, black or white, just or unjust. The only thing a warrior can do is focus on what's best for their Clan, and after having warnings entrusted on her at a young age by StarClan, Mintpool of AirClan leaned on that principle more than anyone. And as she grew up, navigating through toxic friendships, terrifying dreams from StarClan, and an overall feeling of loneliness, the gray tabby found her love for AirClan as the only thing keeping herself upright. However, everything soon shatters when her beloved Clan betrays her. When this happens, Mintpool makes one last promise to the Clan she'd sacrificed so much for - a promise she's determined to keep until her last breath. Euphoria_460 © 2021Complete
