The five Clans in the forest have lived in peace for many moons now. It seems like nothing could ever go wrong. But things always go wrong in the Clans. The first leaders were sent a prophecy. Not from StarClan, but from somewhere even more powerful than StarClan. They never figured out what it meant, but the prophecy was passed down leader to leader. Every leader had the dread of wondering if the darkness would come at their time leading. It never did. Until now. Darkpaw is sent a dream of great darkness and a prophecy foretelling five cats that will rise above the darkness. She doesn't yet understand its true meaning, but knows she has to find the other cats mentioned in the prophecy first. It proves to be harder than she thought, and Darkpaw worries she won't figure it out in time.
