Plot summary
Something terrifying is happening in the world of the Clans. Amid the destruction of the forest, cats are being taken away by Twolegs, including ThunderClan's beloved medicine cat apprentice, Leafpaw. Now the young cats who set off on a quest many moons ago have returned (all but one have returned) with a chilling message: The Clans must move to a new home, or risk extermination. But it is not easy to convince the cats to leave. What they need is a sign from StarClan. . . but it seems that it will never come. Only a devastating attack on the ShadowClan camp will convince the other Clans to leave. The dying warrior from Midnight's prophecy is revealed to be a star which runs though the night sky and drops behind the mountains. They all travel though the mountains, guided by Brambleclaw, Squirrelpaw, Crowfeather (formerly known as Crowpaw), Tawnypelt, and Stormfur. Graystripe is taken by the Twolegs, but he succeeds in rescuing Leafpaw and the other cats from RiverClan and WindClan, as well as many loners and rogues. While trying to protect kits, Firestar loses a life when a tree crashes and falls on him as they try to evacuate ShadowClan from their camp as Twolegs begin to destroy it. Stormfur chooses to stay with the Tribe of Rushing Water with Brook Where Small Fish Swim (Brook) and Feathertail's spirit. At the end of the book, the Clans settle in a forest around a lake.
