==The praise==
 
"Action-packed. Certain to please any young reader who has ever wondered what dreams of grandeur may haunt the family cat."<ref>Revealed on the Back Cover</ref>
 
::::::::-''Publishers Weekly''
 
"A suspenseful adventure story that urges readers onward."<ref>Revealed on the Back Cover</ref>

"This second entry in a cat adventure series has solid plotting and enhanced complexity but is marred by the same preciousness of its predecessor. Six cats are far from home, on a quest for information that may save their forest from destructive Twolegs (humans). Though the cats come from different Clans, they've bonded on the trip, so when they meet an unknown cat Tribe and new dangers, they work together. The strange Tribe has had a vision in which one of the Clan cats is their savior; does this give him a moral obligation to fulfill their prophecy? Meanwhile, back at home, cats desperately watch their forest bulldozed and their prey disappear. Hunter's writing is mundane, the cats' names blend (Leafpaw, Squirrelpaw, Brambleclaw), and the replacement of the verb "said" with "meowed" and "mewed" is repeatedly cloying. However, a small plot twist is refreshing and suspense builds steadily towards the final installment, the plot of which is nicely unpredictable. (name chart, maps) (Fantasy. 8-11)"

==Detailed plot description==
 
:A new group of cats is introduced, as they creep into a moonlit cave. Their leader, [[Teller of the Pointed Stones (NP)|Stoneteller]], tells them that he has received a [[Prophecies and omens#Prophecies|prophecy]] from the [[Tribe of Endless Hunting]], their ancestors, that a [[Prophecies and omens#The_Silver_Cat|silver cat]] will come and save them from an unspecified threat that has them all living in fear.
 
 
:The six cats who made the [[Journey to Midnight|journey to the sun-drown place]], [[Bramblestar|Brambleclaw]], [[Squirrelflight|Squirrelpaw]], [[Tawnypelt]], [[Crowfeather|Crowpaw]], Stormfur, and Feathertail, say goodbye to [[Midnight (character)|Midnight]], the [[Badger|badger]] [[StarClan]] sent them to find, and prepare to begin their journey back to the forest, but Midnight offers to accompany them to the edge of the nearby woods. There they are reunited with [[Purdy]], the elderly [[loner]] who 'guided' them through Twolegplace, and they all stop to hunt in the woods while Tawnypelt rests her injured shoulder. Stormfur is irritated that Crowpaw asks Feathertail to hunt with him, and even more so when she agrees, knowing that their relationship will cause trouble when they return to the forest. Returning from their hunt the cats are ambushed by a pair of [[Fox (creature)|foxes]], but Midnight drives them off by threatening them in their own language.    
 
 
:They debate whether to travel through [[Twolegplace#Big_Twolegplace|Twolegplace]], or go through the snowy mountains in the distance. On Midnight's suggestion and from fear of the dangers that they encountered on their first journey, they decide to travel through the mountains to return home. Purdy starts to object to their choice but is silenced by Midnight, who seems to know the destinies of all six cats. The say goodbye to Midnight and Purdy and set off for the mountains. 
 
 
:Back in the forest, [[Firestar]] decides to lead a delegation to [[ShadowClan]] to discuss the [[Twoleg]] destruction of the [[The forest territories|forest]], and includes [[Cinderpelt]] and [[Leafpool|Leafpaw]] to show the patrol is not a threat. On ShadowClan territory, they are confronted and attacked by a [[patrol]] led by [[Russetfur]], but Firestar stops the fight. They are taken to near the ShadowClan [[camp]], where [[Blackstar]] confronts them with all his [[warrior]]s. He refuses Firestar's offer to work together against the Twolegs, and a dejected Firestar leads his cats home.   
 
 
:In the [[The mountains|mountains]], the six traveling cats narrowly escape an [[Prey#Eagles|eagle]] attack before reaching the top of a cliff with a waterfall flowing down it. The river flash-floods from snowmelt and they are swept over the edge, landing in a pool at the foot of the cliff. Dazed, they are found by strange, mud-streaked cats, who show intense interest in Stormfur, and take them into their cave behind the waterfall, introducing themselves as the [[Tribe of Rushing Water (modern)|Tribe of Rushing Water]]. They offer the journeying cats shelter, and they decide to stay until Tawnypelt's shoulder heals. The Tribe cats take the others out on hunting patrols and show them how they catch eagles, and Stormfur becomes friendly with a female Tribe [[:Category:Prey hunters|prey-hunter]], [[Brook Where Small Fish Swim]]. Stoneteller uses his [[Medicine|herb]] knowledge to heal Tawnypelt's shoulder, but when the [[General Clan information|Clan]] cats decide to leave, the Tribe objects. They are hustled into the Cave of Pointed Stones, where Stoneteller explains that the Tribe is being preyed upon by a mountain lion, [[Sharptooth]], and that they believe Stormfur to be the silver cat prophesied to save them. Stormfur is taken prisoner and the others forced the leave the next morning. 
 
 
:In the forest, Leafpaw receives fishing lessons from [[Mothwing]], who doesn't seem to respect Clan boundaries as much as she should. She is taken on a patrol to confront [[WindClan]] over prey-theft, but [[ThunderClan]] are turned away by the obviously starving Clan. She and [[Sorreltail]] go on their own expedition and discover extensive Twoleg damage done to the moorland, but are chased off by a patrol led by [[Mudclaw (WC)|Mudclaw]] onto [[RiverClan]] territory, where they are saved by Mothwing. Later, Leafpaw, guided by the spirit of [[Spottedleaf]], helps save a RiverClan [[apprentice]], [[Reedwhisker|Reedpaw]], from drowning, while Mothwing panics and forgets her [[Medicine cat|medicine cat]] training. Returning to the camp, she learns that [[Dappletail]] has died after eating [[Prey#Rabbits|rabbit]] poisoned by Twolegs, [[Larchkit (TNP)|Larchkit]] has died of hunger, and [[Cloudtail]] and [[Brightheart]] have gone missing.
 
 
:In the mountains, the traveling cats decide to sneak back to rescue Stormfur, but arrive just as Sharptooth attacks the Tribe. They free Stormfur amidst the confusion and escape, but witness a Tribe [[:Category:Kit-mothers|kit-mother]], [[Star That Shines On Water]], taken as [[prey]]. Wandering the mountains, they seek shelter for the night in a cave, and encounter three Tribe cats, Talon, [[Rock Where Snow Gathers|Rock]], and [[Bird That Rides the Wind|Bird]], who were exiled after failing to kill Sharptooth. They decide to return and try and help the Tribe kill Sharptooth. Returning to the devastated Tribe, the Clan cats and exiles concoct a plan to lure Sharptooth into eating a rabbit stuffed with [[deathberries]], but Sharptooth sees through the ruse and corners Crowpaw. Desperate to save him, Feathertail jumps from a ledge onto a stalactite, dislodging it so it falls and impales Sharptooth, killing him, but in the process, she dies from the fall. It is thus revealed that the silver cat of the prophecy was Feathertail, not Stormfur, her silver fur having been darkened by water when the Tribe first saw her. The Tribe mourns Feathertail along with the Clan cats, and she is buried beside the waterfall. The Tribe promise to honor her memory forever and, greatly saddened, the Clan cats leave.  
 
 
:After a hostile encounter with Mothwing's brother, [[Hawkfrost]], who pins down Sorreltail for accidentally crossing the border, Leafpaw learns from Mothwing that [[Tigerstar (TPB)|Tigerstar]] was Hawkfrost's and her father. She decides to tell Firestar where Brambleclaw and Squirrelpaw have gone, but first she and Sorreltail go to look for Cloudtail and Brightheart. She enters a small cage near where the Twolegs have made a camp for destroying the forest and is trapped, with Sorreltail watching helpless as a Twoleg carries her away. 
 
 
:In the epilogue, the five journeying cats spot [[Highstones]] in the distance and realize they are almost home.
