Night lay upon the forest. There was no moon, but the stars of Silverpelt shed their frosty glitter over the trees. At the bottom of a rocky hollow, a pool reflected the starshine. The air was heavy with the scents of late greenleaf. (from the first line)

Annotation:
The fierce, wild cats of the forest are at risk when a fresh prophecy is seen, one that might spell death and disaster for their mighty cat warrior clans--Thunder, River, Shadow, and Wind. Four young, untested warriors, the offspring of Firestar, Graystripe, Sandstorm, and Tigerclaw, must combine forces, as the fate of the forest and every cat in it is in their paws. The first in a new trilogy from the popular Warriors series. The author, Erin Hunter, is actually two women, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry, who together create the stories, but each write different titles.
