These notes reflect a bulleted list of major and minor events in Midnight (book) that can be easily navigated. They are intended to serve as a reference for those looking for specific events in re-reading and book discussions and include links to the relevant chapter subpages further detailing each chapter's events.
Brambleclaw receives a message from Bluestar in his dream. She tells him that a new prophecy must be fulfilled and he must meet three other cats at the new moon to listen what Midnight has to tell them.
Brambleclaw discovers that Squirrelpaw, Firestar's daughter, has followed them. Thornclaw lets her stay with them and they move on.
The patrol discovers a badger living at Snakerocks and they return to the camp to report it to Firestar.
Dustpelt tells off Squirrelpaw for leaving the camp without permission and reveals that Firestar took a patrol to search for her. She must look after the elders as punishment, and Brambleclaw helps her.
Leopardstar grants WindClan permission to enter her territory and drink from the river. She also announces that RiverClan has two new warriors, Hawkfrost and Mothwing, their mother being a rogue, and Mothwing wishes to become a medicine cat.
The other Clans protest at hearing this.
Brambleclaw's point of view.
Brambleclaw discovers that his sister, Tawnypelt, has had the same dream, except that Nightstar came to her. They agree to meet at Fourtrees on the new moon.
Firestar and Brambleclaw plan to go on a patrol to check on ShadowClan.
Brambleclaw makes the suggestion that WindClan are probably more likely to cause trouble, as they are short of prey because of the dry weather. Squirrelpaw disagrees and the two almost fight, but are separated by Firestar.
Brambleclaw, Squirrelpaw and Dustpelt head for the RiverClan border.
They discover a WindClan patrol of three cats, Mudclaw, Onewhisker, and Crowpaw, on ThunderClan territory, stealing RiverClan prey. Crowpaw attacks Brambleclaw but Onewhisker stops the apprentice. The WindClan cats leave with the stolen prey.
On the new moon, Brambleclaw heads to Fourtrees; he is followed and confronted by Squirrelpaw.
Leafpaw shows her special connection with Squirrelpaw, knowing her sister was up to something at night.
Ravenpaw comes to ThunderClan to speak with Firestar about the recent Twoleg activity.
He meets Ferncloud's kits who want to play with him.
Leafpaw confronts Squirrelpaw, asking where she was at night, and Squirrelpaw says she was hunting. Leafpaw knows her sister is lying, and is worried about her.
Brambleclaw's point of view.
Brambleclaw has a dream where he is drowning in salty water. He sees a cliff that opens up into a cave, and the sun setting in the water. When he wakes up, his mouth is salty.
He talks to Ravenpaw, and finds out that the sun-drown-place he saw in his dream is real and can be reached by walking towards the setting sun.
Brambleclaw wonders if StarClan wants him to visit the place in question.
They see a piece of Twoleg rubbish set aflame. Leafpaw runs away but stops to see that Cinderpelt has not moved. The fire dies away and Cinderpelt tells her that she saw a tiger in the flames, and that it was an omen from StarClan.
The two cats tell Firestar what they saw, and Cinderpelt thinks that it means the fire and tiger will destroy the forest.
They conclude that fire represents Squirrelpaw, Firestar's daughter, and the tiger is Brambleclaw, Tigerstar's son.
Firestar decides that Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw must be kept apart.
Brambleclaw begins to wonder if he did something wrong when Firestar gives him a hard stare and then orders Squirrelpaw to a patrol when she comes over to Brambleclaw.
He wonders why does Firestar want to keep him apart from Squirrelpaw and starts to believe that Squirrelpaw told a cat about the dreams from StarClan.
He manages to tell Squirrelpaw that he needs to talk to her about the dreams. She agrees and they go behind the nursery.
Before Brambleclaw can tell her anything, Firestar appears, clearly upset. He sends Brambleclaw away to do apprentice duties and tells Squirrelpaw to stop hanging around such an inexperienced warrior.
Brambleclaw knows he didn't do anything wrong, but has lost his leader's trust.
Brambleclaw goes hunting with Mousefur and her apprentice Spiderpaw, not even trying to talk to Squirrelpaw anymore.
When Spiderpaw chases after a squirrel, Mousefur follows him, leaving Brambleclaw alone.
He finds Squirrelpaw stuck in a gorse bush. He helps her free and Firestar finds them.
Firestar is angry to see that Brambleclaw is disobeying his orders, making Squirrelpaw angry. Firestar and Squirrelpaw go at it until Graystripe appears.
Firestar orders the two cats to carry on with his orders or they may not be fit to be warriors.
Brambleclaw tells Squirrelpaw of his dream and that he is leaving. He is reluctant to let Squirrelpaw come but then agrees.
Leafpaw heads back to camp and finds the rest of the Clan noticing Brambleclaw's and Squirrelpaw's disappearance.
Initially, they think that they went off hunting by themselves.
By midday, the Clan are worried about the two missing cats.
Sandstorm tells Firestar that he was too rough on them, and his annoyance turns to worry when he thinks that he might have scared them away.
Sandstorm tells him that she thinks the prophecy might mean something else, that fire and tiger might save them instead of causing trouble. Firestar notices her point and decides to go on a patrol to find them.
Firestar later comes to the medicine den to talk to Cinderpelt, telling her he found nothing. Cinderpelt tells him not to worry; that Squirrelpaw has Brambleclaw to look after her.
At the half moon, the medicine cats set out for Highstones. Leafpaw and Cinderpelt meet up with Littlecloud of ShadowClan and Mudfur and Mothwing of RiverClan.
Leafpaw is happy to see Mothwing but put off when Mothwing treats her like a lower specimen.
Once they get talking, Mothwing relaxes more and tells Leafpaw of the sign StarClan sent, a moth's wing in the medicine den.
They meet up with Barkface and continue towards Highstones.
At the Moonstone, Mudfur performs Mothwing's medicine cat apprentice ceremony.
The cats share tongues with StarClan. Leafpaw sees the forest being destroyed, a group of cats trekking through snow, then finally Squirrelpaw and several other cats with her.
