New territory brings new troubles for the fierce cats of the warrior Clans. Dangers they have never faced before are lurking in the twilight shadows, and former allies are acting strangely hostile.
Before there is peace, blood will spill blood...
New territory brings new troubles for the fierce cats of the warrior Clans, who are still uncovering the secrets of their new home around the lake. Dangers they have never faced before are lurking in the twilight shadows, and former allies are acting strangely hostile.
As divisions between the Clans grow deeper, Firestar's daughters face troubling decisions. One is torn between loyalty to her calling and a forbidden love, while the other struggles with her best friend's betrayal and the surprising perils of the forest. The choices they make now could affect ThunderClan for generations to come . . . and with an unexpected enemy preparing to attack, their courage and strength will be needed more than ever if the Clan is to survive.
Chapter One
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highledge
for a Clan meeting."
Squirrelflight woke with a start as the ThunderClan leader's yowl rang out
across the stone hollow. Cloudtail was already pushing his way out through the
thorny branches that screened the warriors' den. His mate, Brightheart, uncurled
herself from their mossy nest and followed him.
"What does Firestar want now?" Dustpelt muttered, pulling himself stiffly to his
paws and shaking scraps of moss from his fur. With an irritated flick of his
ears, he thrust his way into the open after his Clanmates.
Stretching her jaws in a yawn, Squirrelflight sat up and gave herself a quick
grooming. Dustpelt's temper was even shorter than usual this morning;
Squirrelflight could see from his awkward movements that the wound he'd received
in the battle against Mudclaw was still painful. Most of the ThunderClan cats
still bore the rebels' clawmarks...
Although the series does not have the depth of Brian Jacques Redwall series (to which The Warriors are inevitably compared), children in the UK, USA and elsewhere are clamoring to
read ever more about these brave cat clans! So, if you are a cat loving 9-12 year old and have not yet discovered Warriors, you probably should!

Why no media reviews for this book?
Long running series such as The Warriors don't tend to get much review coverage after the first few
books, especially when multiple books are published in the same year.
