About this book
Firestar’s grandchildren—Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw—continue their training as tensions rise within and beyond the Clans. A mysterious call draws them to the distant mountains and the Tribe of Rushing Water, where old alliances and new dangers test their skills. The journey pushes each cat to question destiny, loyalty, and what it means to belong. Fans love the fast-paced adventure, rich world-building, and the three apprentices’ very different strengths.
Setting: the lake territories of the warrior Clans and the high mountains home of the Tribe of Rushing Water
