The Fourth Apprentice is the first book in the Omen of the Stars arch. It was written by Cherith Baldry. The Fourth Apprentice is shown in three points of views: Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovepaw's. This covers Dovepaw's first few moons of her apprenticeship, and how she deals with the fact she is the third cat in the prophecy, "There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws."

The lake which gives water to the four clans seem to be shrinking, and Dovepaw seems to know something about it, but no one believes her. Firestar, hearing this, decides to take an interest in what she says, sending two cats, Lionblaze and his apprentice, Dovepaw, to go with cats from the three others clans upstream, to try and find the source of the diminishing lake.
