Horsemoon's Silence

Horsekit has a great reputation. Her mother, Cinderstripe, saved the clan from the Twolegs. You'd be respected too, right?

Until she became mute and disfigured.

An accident involving a fox, kills her brother, and permanently injures her.

Stormstar, the leader, doesn't think that she could become a warrior, what she wanted to be when she was old enough.

So he appoints her as the medicine cat apprentice AND a warrior apprentice.
He says she has to train in both positions. And she has three moons to train in both, and pass both assessments to chose what she wants to be. If she fails one, Stormstar chooses what her future holds.

But training in both ranks isn't easy. It takes a toll on the body, mind, and emotions. So Horsepaw looses friends, gains friends, makes sacrifices, and finds out shocking secrets.

Doing both of these, and missing a leg and not being able to speak, can Horsepaw prove herself to her Clanmates, fellow apprentices, and most of all, their leader?
