For moons beyond reckoning, the four warrior Clans walked the paths of the old forest. But their life there was shattered in an instant; their warriors were slaughtered, and their beloved home reduced to a featureless wasteland. No sign of the generations who lived and died there now remains.
Not all, however, were destroyed. Some, the six questing cats, tarried with the Tribe, waiting for the recovery of an injured companion. Others, taken by the Twolegs, have been held captive for so long that they can hardly remember how it feels to be free. Still others were able to flee the forest and find sanctuary in the Twoleg barns and fields nearby.
It is these three groups of cats who hold the fate of the warrior's way of life in their paws. Many futures are possible—some darker than others. But one thing is certain: if the warrior code is to survive, it will require a united effort . . . from cats of all Clans.
