WindClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and ThunderClan have lapsed into an uneasy peace, after several skirmishes that have caused ThunderClan to lose territory to the powering RiverClan, the other Clans become prejudiced. The once friendly RiverClan is now seen as a group of backstabbing, lying, fox-hearted cats. DAWNPAW is indignant, always. She is sheltered, happy and annoyed. But then her world crumbles apart. FOXPAW is haunted. He refuses to let another die on his watch, and he becomes quietly terrified that his rogue kithood will come back and bite him. Foxpaw is terrified that, true to his name sake, he may actually end up like a fox. MOONPAW is sick of it. She's tired of the Clans and their drama, and after a horrible event, only wants peace. She doesn't want to be a warrior of RiverClan. But she loves her friends and family. Moonpaw is torn between her heart's calling and her mind's loyalties.
