Being a wild cat isn't easy. For the group of cats that live by the lake, every day could be their last. Follow Whitefoot, a friendly tom with a heart of gold, and Nightpaw, an apprentice who struggles to see the good in himself. The two opposites form an unlikely friendship that reveals the truths about themselves even they didn't know. But when the home they work so hard to protect is threatened, will the claws of battle separate them, or will they stand together until the end? And when even their leader cowers in fear, who will be the one to take charge?
