Lost Stars

Life among the five warrior cat Clans has not always been peaceful. But as bitter leaf-bare season decends on the lake territories, warriors on all sides have set aside their differences to focus on survival.

Yet this leaf-bare brings with it not only scarce prey, sickness, and deadly cold, but also a threat to the very fabric of warrior code--the Clans' connection with their ancestors in StarClan. In ShadowClan, a young medicine cat apprentice is plagued by a terrifying vision that will shape the fate of all five Clans... and reveal and threat they must face alone.^[4]

The Silent Thaw

ThunderClan's beloved leader, Bramblestar, has escaped a narrow brush with death, assuring all five Clans that StarClan is still watching over them, even if they have remained strangely silent. But when Bramblestar's ghost begins to haunt Rootpaw, the SkyClan apprentice knows something is terribly wrong. Bramblestar is alive and well--so why is his spirit asking Rootpaw for help?

The only cat who may have an answer is medicine cat apprentice Shadowpaw, who has received a frightening vision naming cats from several Clans who have broken the warrior code. But is StarClan really calling for these codebreakers to be punished?^[5]
