Raised and trained by a group of rough and tough rouges, Eclipse has never felt the true love of another cat. Her mother was killed when she was only a moon old; her father is the brutal leader of the murderous group of cats that call themselves The Night Ghosts. But when Eclipse meets a spunky young MoonClan apprentice, things begin to look up. For the first time, Eclipse knows how it feels to be truly cared for. But all good things come to an end, don't they?
