BEFORE YOU READ: This book is only half-finished, and I do not plan to finish it or write anymore books for this series. Please read the Author's Note near the end of the book if you want more information.
After the Great Battle between the Clans and the Dark Forest, StarClan appointed a cat to help them in keeping the evil spirits locked in the Dark Forest and prevented from finishing what they started. This cat is called the Chosen Warrior and has been around for generations after that historical moment that could have meant the demise of all the Clans. But even with the death of the Chosen Warrior, a new one is selected to keep the cats of the lake safe from their bloodthirsty, vengeful ancestors.
Eight generations of these Chosen Warriors have passed, and now it's the time for the upcoming and ninth one. Leafpaw of ThunderClan has heard about the tales and legends of previous Chosen Warriors from the Clan's elders all during her kithood, but when she finds out that she herself is the succeeding cat selected by StarClan after Rainshine of WindClan dies, her life takes on much more meaning and purpose than the average warrior, putting her on a path of broken trust, paranoia, and tested faith, and edged in cats corrupted and sent by the Dark Forest to assassinate her in the only way that would ensure the evil ancestors' freedom to wreak havoc on the Clans once again: with tooth and claw.
