𝙄𝙉 𝙒𝙃𝙄𝘾𝙃 . . . History has a way of damning its most devoted creations.
The five Clans around the lake have never been too accepting of those who are not born among them, least of all ShadowClan, the coldest and most mysterious of all. But a new era marks a new generation of cats, one being a kind leader whose heart might have been too large for the Clan of the night.
Two kits abandoned by their father come with more emotional baggage than anyone expected. Young Arch, a kit whose entire life has been about being abandoned, has tried to make a name for herself in a Clan of cats who know she doesn't belong, and she can't help but feel like her destiny was doomed from the start.
Between getting over her father's choices in abandoning her, trying to please a mentor who wants to see her fail, and struggling to survive in a Clan that constantly scrutinizes her every move, Arch is convinced that her place in ShadowClan is hanging by a thread. All she has to get her by are the words her mother left her with, and one friend who may turn out to be the biggest traitor of all. Her heart and her instincts are tearing her apart, and the sense of dread that continues to hang over her head is almost enough to make her see the real truth: the stars were never on her side. Good or bad, she was never meant to have the favor of the gods she devoted herself to.
She has been doomed from the start,
but her destiny is no longer hers to
control and guide.
