Very quickly the young members of Shadowclan start to leave Shadowclan as they consider their leader, Rowanstar, weak.

Onestar, the leader of Windclan, is furious that Shadowclan did not chase off Darktail when they had the chance. He refuses to give Shadowclan the herb that they desperately need. This causes a huge rift within the clans, and Windclan closes it’s borders. Secretly the Windclan deputy and med. cat go behind their leader’s back and give Shadowclan the herb.
