After losing his mother to Tigerstar’s savagery, Ashfur proved his courage early on by helping luring the dog pack to the gorge. The tom had friends, kin, the loyalty and support of his Clan, and a promising future as a strong and respected warrior. But none of that mattered anymore when Squirrelflight chose Brambleclaw over him. Ashfur made no secret of the anger and hurt he felt at this perceived betrayal – and such apparent slights are not soon forgotten. Can Ashfur let go of his obsession and recognize Squirrelflight’s right to make her own choices, and find peace in the rest of the good things he has in his life? Or will seasons of building bitterness drag him to darker depths than any Clan cat even knew existed?
