Warriors: Looming Shadows: Broken Codes - [Book One]

[WARNING] - This is a rewrite of Erin Hunter's The Broken Code. I really did not like the direction it took, and there were so many scenes that were rushed and poorly executed. I do not own ANY character in this story. Erin Hunter and HarperCollins Publications own them.

With SkyClan settled in at the lake, and no major conflicts arising, all five Clans have begun to get used to the peace. But a bitter-cold blizzard has brought about a dark period in Clan history when the moonpool freezes over entirely, and there is only one cat who can still speak to StarClan: a young ShadowClan medicine cat apprentice named Shadowpaw.

Shadowpaw is faced with responsibilities that no other medicine cat has had before, now that the other medicine cats' connection to StarClan has been severed. When ThunderClan leader Bramblestar becomes deathly ill, StarClan tells him that Bramblestar must be left out in the snow in order to be healed. Although a seemingly mousebrained idea, Shadowpaw can't possibly argue with StarClan. Bramblestar wakes up without a hint of illness and is able to lead his Clan again, but Rootpaw, a SkyClan apprentice, begins to notice something terrifying - and he's not alone. Bristlepaw, in the meantime, is just happy to have her leader back.
