Mintpaw is half-clan, a kit taken from her birth clan to live with her father. She remembers nothing of her mother and brothers, but they remember. Skypaw and Blazepaw taunt her for being a traitor, and her mother stares at her at each gathering. Mintpaw begins to have new feelings for her den-mate, Scorchpaw, and a shortage of food in each of the other clans bring them to Riverclan for help. Will the secret concerning Mintpaw and her brothers be revealed? Or will she forever think she is a full clan cat?
