Detailed plot description[]

In The Rescue, SkyClan is doing well, and Leafstar is now raising a family of her own. But, when she and her kits are captured by an elderly Twoleg, she has no choice but to accept help from a kittypet. Will she accept the help or are she and her kits destined to become kittypets themselves?

In Beyond the Code, Leafstar was able to escape from the Twoleg's home with the help of Billystorm and her Clanmates, but more trouble lies ahead. Sol has joined SkyClan's ranks and, unbeknownst to Leafstar, may be leading her Clanmates astray. When Sol's actions bring about a disaster for the Clan, Leafstar must determine whether or not to trust the stranger in her ranks—at the risk of jeopardizing SkyClan's future.

In After the Flood, Leafstar has been wary of Sol ever since he joined SkyClan, and the longer he stays in the Clan's midst, the more Leafstar's suspicion of him grows. When Sol's actions threaten disaster, Leafstar must find a way to protect her Clanmates‒no matter the cost.
