The old leader of ThunderClan has died and Mottlesplash, the loyal and talented deputy, is ready to step into the role of leader. However, when Mottlesplash makes the journey to receive his nine lives from StarClan, he is met with unexpected and devastating refusal. Instead, StarClan names Swiftshadow, a lazy and careless tom, as the rightful leader of ThunderClan.
Confusion and jealousy cloud Mottlesplash as he grapples with the shocking news. Unable to accept StarClan's decision, he returns to ThunderClan and hides the truth, continuing to act as leader while keeping Swiftshadow in the dark about his destined role.
"In The Dark" is a riveting tale of power, deceit, and redemption. The fate of ThunderClan hangs in the balance as the true meaning of leadership is put to the ultimate test.

Warriors Fanfiction: River Rising
The forest is silent. The Clans are broken. And the river is rising. After a haunting vision at the Moonpool, Willowpaw is no longer just a reluctant medicine cat - she's the only cat who knows the truth. A darkness is sweeping across the Clans. Cats are vanishing. StarClan is no longer silent, and their message is clear: Find the lost. Or lose everything. Now, Willowpaw must lead a patrol beyond the safety of RiverClan, guided only by starlight and instinct. The future of all four Clans may rest on her paws - if she can learn to trust her voice before it's too late. Meanwhile, deep in the grip of Twoleg cruelty, Finchsong is trapped - wounded, isolated, and forced to watch as his fellow prisoners begin to lose hope. But he refuses to give in. If he can't escape, he'll keep them strong. He'll remind them what they're fighting for. As the flood of fear rises around them, one cat must lead - and one must endure. Because hope is the only thing the Twolegs haven't stolen.Complete
Warriors #4: Darkness Awakens
ThunderClan has lived moons in peace. The water is plentiful and the cats are strong. But, with the Dark Forest drawing closer and tragedies emerging, things are starting to go downhill. It all begins with Swiftkit. He is born as an innocent newcomer to the clan. He is strong and independent, but his morals quickly change when he is visited by the most hated cat in all of the Clans. ***DISCLAIMER*** The time gap between Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 is literally a YEAR, so, I must warn you that the cleanliness of Chapter 8 and onwards completely emulates the first seven chapters of this book. I certainly don't think that they are BAD, but I am definitely going to fix them up once I've got more time (just some little grammar tweaks, updating plot points, and fixing some dialogue). So, just keep that in mind when you read this. I hope you still enjoy! And also, just to respect Wattpad's guidelines, I will say, that as a Warriors book, there is the mildest of mild violence! *Cover image is official Warrior Cats artComplete

Embers in the Snow
*NAME CHANGE* #1 book in the Snow Saga Snowshade was a brave and outgoing member of WindClan. When he was an apprentice, something terrible happened and he was blamed. After being exiled from WindClan, Snowshade turns to ThunderClan, and they take him in immediately. But as life goes on normally in his new Clan, he discovers a dark secret they've been hiding, and it could put him, and every cat in the forest's life in danger. For this book, the chapters are shorter and less detailed due to the fact that I had to make them fit instagram captions. This story is now completed! Thanks to those who have supported me throughout mine and Snowshade's journey and I hope you enjoyed the book!
