"Everywhere the cats have been, there are layers upon layers of history - some known, some long-forgotten, and some discovered in the most unexpected ways - laid down by the paw steps of many generations. What shaped the lives of these proud and noble warriors? Come, walk among them for a while, and listen to their stories..."

Summary[]

Following the format of Cats of the Clans, this book features most of the cats mentioned there, alongside many new ones. All of them feature updated biographies, and some of them have even undergone changes in their artwork.
The book tells a story of each Clan and various cats from those Clans. It describes major events in the cats' lives as well as why the cat is special and the reasons behind the events. It doesn't give a bias, but makes suggestions as to different destinies to some characters if an event had not happened.

Format and content[]

Most of the book is of the narrator telling the stories in first-person view, however Bramblestar's Nine Lives: The Return of the Heroes and Tigerstar's Nine Lives: StarClan Makes Its Choice is narrated by the leaders receiving the nine lives. The Introduction is one page long, and each Clan introduction is two pages long. This is followed by two or three pages on a cat (or group of cats) that first features a full-color illustration then a descriptive text for the remainder.
