Squirrelflight, the spirited young daughter of Firestar, is one of the six cats who go on the great journey of the Clans. Sharing a deeply hidden secret with only her sister, Squirrelflight discovers that family is something that runs much deeper than simply sharing blood. She must not only overcome fire and fury to keep her loved ones safe, but must also sacrifice all she’s worked for to keep what’s left of her family from falling apart.
Clan: ThunderClan
Ivypool
Ivypool is the hardworking and observant sister of Dovewing. Born and raised closely alongside her gifted sister, Ivypool couldn’t help but grow envious of the attention Dovewing always seemed to receive. This envy grew and pushed Ivypool further and further from her sister and Clanmates, and made her vulnerable to the influence of a terrible darkness. She must decide if she’s willing to succumb to the darkness or see if she can fight her way back to StarClan’s light.
Jayfeather
Jayfeather is a skilled, though terribly grumpy, ThunderClan medicine cat. Born blind, this tom’s life has proven more challenging than that of his Clanmates. However, when he discovers that he and his kin are the three cats of an ancient prophecy, he begins to see the world in ways no others could ever dream of. In a desperate race against time, Jayfeather must uncover the truth behind who sent the prophecy, and find out what it truly means to ‘hold the stars in his paws’.
Alderheart
Alderheart is the timid young ThunderClan medicine cat who is called upon to embark on a grand journey to restore the Clans. Challenges lay in wait for the fearful tom, and the journey proves to be more than he could ever imagine. And through his fateful journey, Alderheart discovers a secret that could potentially change the Clans forever.
Lionblaze
Lionblaze is one of the most strong and capable cats in all of ThunderClan, and he knows it. When he discovers he is one of the three prophesied cats, his ego doubles and he becomes obsessed with his power and importance to the Clan. Unknowingly, he begins to tread a path of darkness and pride despite good intentions. However, it is up to Lionblaze to find the strength inside of him to make the right choices for not only himself but his Clan, and discover that sometimes it takes more than battle strength to make a truly strong cat.
Cinderheart
As beloved medicine cat Cinderpelt breathed her last breath, Cinderkit gulped in her first. In that moment, the spirit of Cinderpelt was reborn in the newborn kit. Cinderheart grew up unaware that she was Cinderpelt reborn, displaying the same eagerness, courage, and dedication that she did in her first life, this time following the path of a warrior. But when she finally learns the truth of who she once was, will she be able to return to the simple warrior life that she’s come to know? Or will the pull of her old path as a healer be too strong to ignore?
Bumblestripe
While Dovewing was falling for the brave and charismatic Tigerheart, she was surprised to discover another contender for her affections within her own Clan. Bumblestripe is certainly the safer option – steady, loyal, and not forbidden as her ShadowClan love is. But Bumblestripe has his own faults, and his jealousy and tendency to come across as condescending certainly make him less attractive than Tigerheart in Dovewing’s mind. Will Bumblestripe overcome his faults and win the heart of his Clanmate? Or will Dovewing’s heart draw her to ShadowClan instead?
Sparkpelt
Being born the spitting image of the great Firestar was never going to be easy, but as was her way, Sparkpelt rose to the challenge with an apparently effortless ease. While Alderpaw struggled with his warrior training, Sparkpaw excelled from the start. While her brother wrestled with anxiety and self-doubt, she met every new obstacle with cheery determination. But much like Firestar before her, Sparkpelt is a cat like any other, and even her boundless courage and confidence cannot stand in the face of every tragedy…
Twigbranch
Twigbranch is one of two abandoned kits found by Alderheart and Needletail. Split from her sister, Violetshine, Twigbranch must struggle to find her place within her new Clan and try and solve the mystery of her kin. She soon discovers that the Clans are in more trouble than she could imagine, and believes it is up to her and her sister to clear the darkness that lays in wait in the shadows.
Finleap
This eager, friendly young tom was one of the first SkyClan cats Twigpaw truly befriended. Though he lost half of his tail in an accident, his boundless cheer couldn’t be kept down for long, especially with Twigpaw’s friendship to help motivate him. Her honesty and courage inspired the young tom. But when Twigpaw’s doubts lead her to question where he belongs, will he be torn away from the wonderful she-cat he’s come to care for? Or will something else, some dark and selfish part of Finleap’s heart that he hadn’t given word to before, be the wedge that drives the pair apart?
