StarClan has long foreseen something dark coming to the clans and have now decided to take action. Four cats have been chosen. Rainpelt, a PebbleClan tom who is not afraid to do anything for his clan, Nightdust, StormClan's deputy with a kind heart, Foxflare, a small and formidable FlameClan warrior with a big heart, and Reedkit, a 6 moon old PeaceClan cat with her spirit compantion. Four unlikely chosen cats have been forced together in this time of torment and, with darkness in the horizon, they are the only hope for the clan's survival.
