The series follows the adventures of four Clans of wild cats -- ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, and RiverClan -- in their forest and lake homes, who look up to StarClan, their warriors ancestors, and spirits in the stars, who guide the four clans. SkyClan, the long - forgotten fifth Clan of the forest, is later introduced in the stand - alone novel Firestar 's Quest. It receives additional focus in the novel SkyClan 's Destiny, the manga trilogy SkyClan and the Stranger, and the 2013 novella Cloudstar 's Journey. There are currently six sub-series, each containing six books. The first, Warriors ( later re-titled as Warriors : The Prophecies Begin ), was published from 2003 to 2004. Warriors : The New Prophecy, published from 2005 to 2006, follows the first sub-series, chronicling the Clans as they move to a new home. The third story arc, Warriors : Power of Three, was published from 2007 to 2009. The fourth sub-series, Warriors : Omen of the Stars, was published from 2009 to 2012 and continued where the third story arc left off. The fifth sub-series Warriors : Dawn of the Clans, was published from 2013 to 2015. The sub-series acts as a prequel series, detailing the formation of the Clans. The sixth and most recent sub-series, Warriors : A Vision of Shadows, is still on its fourth book and halfway finished. The first book of the sixth series, The Apprentice 's Quest, was released on March 15, 2016, and the second book, Thunder and Shadow, was released on September 6, 2016. Warriors : A Vision of Shadows follows Warriors : Omen of the Stars, and Bramblestar 's Storm. Other books have been released in addition to the main series, including nine lengthier stand - alone `` Super Edition '' novels entitled Firestar 's Quest, Bluestar 's Prophecy, SkyClan 's Destiny, Crookedstar 's Promise, Yellowfang 's Secret, Tallstar 's Revenge, Bramblestar 's Storm, Moth Flight 's Vision, Hawkwing 's Journey, and the latest one, Tigerheart 's Shadow. There are also a few other books that were published as e-book novellas : Hollyleaf 's Story, Mistystar 's Omen, Cloudstar 's Journey, Tigerclaw 's Fury, Leafpool 's Wish, Dovewing 's Silence, Mapleshade 's Vengeance, Goosefeather 's Curse and Ravenpaw 's Farewell. Three more e-book novellas have been confirmed, Pinestar 's Choice, Thunderstar 's Echo and Spottedleaf 's Heart will be published in April 2017. These e-book novels have also been published in three print compilations, with three stories each : Warriors : Tales from the Clans, Warriors : The Untold Stories, and Warriors : Shadows of the Clans. Six guides and several volumes of original English - language manga, produced as a collaboration between HarperCollins and TOKYOPOP, have been published as well. Manga published after TOKYOPOP 's shutdown is published by HarperCollins on its own. In addition to the books, the authors have also written several short stories and two plays. The Warriors series, with the exception of the manga, has been released in e-book format for popular e-readers such as the Barnes & Noble Nook and Amazon Kindle. The series has also been translated into several languages. In addition, the series has a website featuring games, promotional videos, quizzes, and news. The official message boards closed on August 12, 2016. Major themes in the series deal with adventure, forbidden love, the concept of nature vs. nurture, the reactions of different faiths meeting each other, and characters being a mix of good and bad. The authors draw inspiration from several natural locations and other authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, and William Shakespeare. Warriors has received mostly positive reviews, but it has also been criticised for being confusing due to its large number of characters. Critics have compared it to the Redwall series, though one reviewer commented that the series is less elegantly written. Although nominated for several awards, Warriors has yet to receive any major literary prizes. The series has reached the New York Times Bestseller List and has found popularity in many countries, including Trinidad, Germany and China. On October 20, 2016, Vicky Holmes and Kate Cary, two of the Erin Hunters, announced that Alibaba Pictures had acquired the film rights to the series. The release date is undetermined as recent financial troubles with Alibaba may cause the film to be delayed.

The cats are split into four smaller Clans : ThunderClan lives in woodland areas, WindClan reside on the moors, RiverClan by the lake and ShadowClan within and around the swamps. A fifth Clan, SkyClan, also used to be a part of this system, but was forced to flee when their territory was destroyed to make human houses. Each Clan has adapted to their own terrain ; RiverClan, for example, will swim in the river to catch fish, whilst the majority of cats from the other Clans fear and avoid bodies of water. Although they all share the forest, relationships between different Clans are tense. They often come into conflict with one another, becoming aggressive if a cat from a neighboring Clan accidentally crosses a border. This rivalry can increase in times of deprivation, such as if one Clan is suffering from a shortage of prey but another is thriving. An attempt for one Clan to steal all of or part of another Clan 's territory is not unusual. To prepare for this, cats in all Clans are taught battle moves in order to protect their territory. Each Clan has signature battle moves that are taught to them from an early age ( 6 months / moons old ). Border fights are the most common source of battle ( a cat intentionally or unwittingly steps into another Clan 's territory ), and are often short - lived and cause no real damage to either side. However, bigger and more brutal battles can occur ; at this point, casualties are to be expected. Despite this rivalry, the Clans can also show concern for another 's well being ; the idea of one Clan being destroyed causes deep distress, and will prompt urgent action on behalf of all four Clans. On the night of every full moon, the Clans will meet at a designated spot in order to share stories and news in peace. This is known as a ' Gathering ', and is the only time in which fighting is prohibited. Cats who live outside of the Clans are split into three groups. Housecats, known as ' kittypets ', are often sneered at by the Clan cats for their cozy and lazy life. Occasionally a curious kittypet will wander into the forest to explore ; at this point, they are chased away, but will rarely come to harm. As a result, kittypets often warn each other not to enter the forest. ' Loners ' are cats who walk outside of the Clans, usually by themselves. Although regarded by the Clans with suspicion, they do not cause the forest cats any trouble, and so are free to wander outside of the borders in peace. Similar to loners are ' rogues ', who differ only because they intentionally try to cause the Clans harm. It is not unusual for a rogue to be a former Clan cat looking for revenge. For a kittypet, loner or rogue to join a Clan is rare, but not unheard of. Often, these newcomers have to prove themselves in order to be regarded with trust by the rest of the community. Beyond the Clans ' territories lies a mountain range, inhabited by the Tribe of Rushing Water. The Tribe is shown to be similar to the Clans, yet follows a different set of ancestors : the Tribe of Endless Hunting. The Tribe has a Healer, cave - guards, and prey - hunters, who each serve a different function in the Tribe. The Healer leads the Tribe, heals the ill and wounded, and communicates with the Tribe of Endless Hunting ; the cave - guards defend the Tribe, and the prey - hunters hunt. The Tribe was formed by the Ancients when they left the lake to live in the mountains. In turn, cats from the Tribe moved to the forest of the original series and formed the Clans. StarClan is a group of the Clans ' deceased ancestors who give guidance to the Clans. After death, most Clan cats join StarClan. StarClan is said to be represented by Silverpelt, and each individual star represents the spirit of a single dead warrior. Upon joining StarClan, the cats ' spirits take the form in which they were most happy while living ( i.e. blindness and deafness can be cured ). StarClan Warriors, elders, deputies, queens, and kits keep watch over the Clans, usually watching the Clan they lived in while alive. They provide guidance to the Clans, often through dreams and other signs like omens. Often, this occurs when medicine cats go to the Moonstone, a large piece of quartz in an abandoned mine, which is used in the forest territory to communicate with the medicine and leader cats ' ancestors every half - moon. This is later replaced by the Moonpool, a small body of water from which cats can drink from in order to communicate with StarClan. In an author chat, Hunter said that StarClan can `` just get glimpses of '' the future, which they occasionally pass on, although these visions tend to be convoluted and difficult to understand. StarClan cats are often described as being transparent and silver in color, with stars sparkling around their paws. In the manga, their eyes are portrayed as blank and empty. On very rare occasions, a StarClan cat will interact with the world of the living, mainly to take a recently deceased cat to their place of resting. When a StarClan cat is forgotten by all living memory, or is killed in battle, they will fade away - it is unknown what happens to them after this. In addition to StarClan, there exists the Dark Forest, also known as The Place of No Stars. The spirits of cats who cause great pain and suffering to others during their lives reside there in order to pay for their sins. As the name suggests, it takes the form of a never - ending forest, forcing its residents to forever walk alone. Although cats of the Dark Forest are meant to be isolated as punishment, they later learn how to walk in the dreams of living cats. Like StarClan cats, Dark Forest residents will fade away if they are forgotten, or killed in battle. A unique aspect is that if a living cat dies whilst visiting the Dark Forest in their dreams, they will automatically become a spirit of the Dark Forest themselves. In addition, it is possible for StarClan cats to become lost within the forest if they stay there for too long, hence why the majority avoid it. The Clans Hierarchy Each Clan has an identical hierarchical system. From birth, newborn kittens are known as ' kits ', as evidenced by the ' - kit ' suffix at the end of their name. Parents of the kits choose the names ; often, a name is related to their appearance ( ' Graykit ' ), an element of nature ( ' Sandkit ' ), or in regards to how the parent felt when the kit was born ( ' Brokenkit ' ). Mothers, known as ' queens ', then look after their kits for their first six months of life. Kits are expected to stay in camp at all times, and sleep in a designated and comfortable area known as the ' nursery '. Once a kit has reached six moons old, they become ' apprentices '. As a mark of this, each kit is now given the suffix ' paw '. For example, ' Graykit ' would become ' Graypaw '. An apprentice is then assigned to a ' mentor '. Mentors are often carefully chosen in order to fulfill an apprentice 's full potential ; for example, a rather highly - strung apprentice would be given to a calmer mentor, whilst a more timid apprentice would be given to a mentor known for their bravery. It is the job of a mentor to train their apprentice for any given situation, teaching them to hunt, fight, and patrol borders. Apprentices move out of the nursery and sleep in their own separate den. In addition to training, apprentices are also tasked with keeping the camp clean. After a varying amount of training ( at least a few months ), apprentices are eventually made warriors. Another naming ceremony is held, this time to mark the cat as being a full member of the Clan. Warriors are given their own unique suffix that often marks their personality or appearance ; for example, ' Graystripe ' would be named after the gray stripe running down his back, ' Brokentail ' after the kink in his tail, and ' Sandstorm ' after her fiery personality. It is extremely rare for warriors to meet another cat with the exact same name, but often a warrior will meet another cat with the same first part of their name, and very often will a warrior meet another cat with the same last part of their name ( such as fur, tail, or heart ). Once named, warriors hold a vigil at night to protect the clan, while the rest of the clan is sleeping. After the vigil, warriors are free to move into the warrior 's den, where the majority of the Clan sleeps. The duty of a warrior is to protect and uphold their Clan at all costs. They are able to hunt by themselves, and are generally skilled at defending themselves in battle. Warriors can take a mate, and females can give birth to new kits ; if this occurs, the expecting mother, known as a ' queen ', will avoid warrior duties for six months before returning to them once her kits are made apprentices. The vast majority of warriors are also chosen to later be mentors to new apprentices. Warriors will remain in this position for the remainder of their life, or until they are old enough to retire. If a cat so chooses, they can take a different calling in life as that of a medicine cat. Medicine cats, unlike warriors, serve for their clan not through bloodshed, but through peace. They are trained to heal their Clanmates by using the natural resources as medicines ; for example, cobwebs can be used to stitch deep wounds, whilst poppy seeds are used to lull a distressed cat into sleep. They sleep separately, surrounded by the herbs and resources they need to keep their Clan safe and healthy. Medicine cat apprentices go through a longer period of training than warriors, due to the vast amount of knowledge they must remember. Medicine cats are also not allowed to take any mates or have any kits. This is because they must care for each member of their Clan equally ; if they were to form a loving relationship with any one individual, they may unfairly place that cat 's life over that of the Clan. A Clan tends to have only one or two, and occasionally three, medicine cats at any given time. When a warrior is so old, or sustains an injury that means they can no longer serve their Clan, they retire to become elders. Elders live out the remainder of their life in general peace, using it as a time of rest and relaxation. They sleep in their own separate den, which is looked after by the apprentices. Elders are not expected to hunt or fight for their Clan, but are able to do so if the mood takes them. Their only expected duty is to carry the body of a deceased Clanmate to their grave. Every cat of the Clan respects and appreciates the elders, thanking them for the time they have spent upholding their roles as a warrior. Sadly, it is rare for a Clan to have more than three or four elders, as many warriors die before they can retire. The most important role in the Clan is that of the leader. The Clan leader overlooks all duties of Clan life, and will make all the important decisions, such as whether or not to engage in battle. Each Clan leader is given nine lives by StarClan, in order to sacrifice their lives nine times over to protect their Clan, and to serve their clans for many more moons to come. This means that Clan leaders can often live longer than that of a normal cat. To mark their new status, Clan leaders are given the suffix -- star ( e.g. Bluestar, Tallstar, and Brokenstar ). Generally, Clan leaders sleep alone, although male leaders are allowed to take a mate. Female leaders are inhibited from taking a mate or having kits, which has led to discussions of sexism among many fans of the series. Another crucial role in the Clan is that of the deputy. When a new Clan leader is appointed, or the old deputy dies or retires, a new cat will be chosen to fulfill this role. The deputy of a Clan is generally in charge of less urgent, but still important duties, such as deciding which cats will go on a hunting patrol and which will check the borders. Although the Clan deputy still sleeps in the warriors den, they are respected by other members of the Clan. Often, a cat will come to the deputy first when asking for advice. When a Clan leader dies, the current deputy will take on the new role of leader, and receive their nine lives from StarClan. Terminology Unlike other animal stories that uses words humans use, the feline characters of the Warriors series use different words for certain concepts and objects in the natural world. The most common terms found within the books are ' Twolegs ' ( humans ), ' kittypets ' ( house cats ), ' monsters ' ( cars ), ' the Thunderpath ' ( a road ) or ' the horseplace ' ( a stable ). The cats also have their own terms for time and measurement, such as sundown or moonhigh representing different times of day according to the positions of the moon, sun, and stars overhead. The seasons are given names according to the trees and foliage in the forest, with ' newleaf ' meaning spring, ' greenleaf ' meaning summer, ' leaf - fall ' meaning autumn, and ' leaf - bare ' meaning winter. The warrior code The Warrior Cat world consists of a series of laws that the warriors call `` The Warrior Code. '' All Warriors must follow this code, and will be punished if a warrior strays too far from the code. An example of this is when Firestar ( then Firepaw ) helped to feed a cat outside of his clan. As punishment, he had to care for the captured ex-ShadowClan rogue, Yellowfang. The guide book Code of the Clans explains how each law of the code originated. ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan all took part of building and revising the code. Kits are taught the Warrior code as early as possible. The official code is as follows : Defend your clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other clans, but your loyalties must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan 's territory Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating. Prey is only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. A kit must be at least 6 moons old to become an apprentice. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. A cat can not be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled. After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh. A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self - defense. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. Each Clan has the right to be proud and independent, but in times of trouble they must forget their boundaries and fight side by side to protect the four. Each Clan must help the others so that no Clan will fall. Apart from the official code, another rule states that Medicine Cats can not have mates or kits. Leafpool, a ThunderClan medicine cat breaks this rule when she goes off with Crowfeather, a WindClan warrior. Warriors : the Prophecies Begin Main article : Warriors ( arc ) The original Warriors series, later re-titled Warriors : The Prophecies Begin, was released from 2003 to 2004 and consists of six books : Into the Wild ( January 21, 2003 ), Fire and Ice ( May 27, 2003 ), Forest of Secrets ( October 14, 2003 ), Rising Storm ( January 6, 2004 ), A Dangerous Path ( June 1, 2004 ), and The Darkest Hour ( 5 October 2004 ). The series was subtitled The Prophecies Begin for its planned re-release in paperback with new covers in 2015. The series details the experiences of a housecat named Rusty who ventures into the forest and is invited to join ThunderClan, one of four groups of wild cats in the forest. He accepts the invitation and receives the apprentice name Firepaw whilst he trains to become a warrior. Firepaw begins to settle into his new life, making a close friendship with two other cats named Graypaw and Ravenpaw, whilst managing to earn the respect of the ThunderClan leader Bluestar. However, early into his apprenticeship, he becomes wary of an esteemed warrior named Tigerclaw, whom Firepaw suspects of murdering the previous deputy, Redtail. As Firepaw receives his warrior name of Fireheart, he slowly begins to realize that Tigerclaw 's ambition to become Clan leader may place many cats in grave danger. One night Tigerclaw attempts to murder Bluestar, fails, and is subsequently banished from the Clan. Fireheart is appointed ThunderClan deputy, but is left shouldering the responsibility of the Clan largely on his own as Bluestar becomes incredibly ill. Traumatized by the attempt on her life, she isolates herself and turns her back on StarClan, which leads to unforeseen consequences for her Clan. Whilst attending a Gathering one night, Fireheart is horrified to find that Tigerclaw ( now named Tigerstar ) has now become the leader of ShadowClan. Seeking revenge upon his former Clan, Tigerstar lures a pack of dogs into the ThunderClan camp, hoping to eliminate them all. Bluestar dies sacrificing her last life to protect the Clan from the dogs, and Fireheart succeeds her as leader, receiving nine lives from StarClan. The newly - named Firestar continues to protect and uphold his Clan, but worries about the looming threat of Tigerstar. His fears are confirmed when Tigerstar attempts to take over all four Clans, by allying himself with a group of rogues known as ' BloodClan '. Tigerstar initially uses his new allies to threaten the Clans into submitting to him, but BloodClan 's leader, Scourge, betrays and murders him. Scourge then decides to take over the forest for himself, leaving all four Clans to join together and fight for their survival. Firestar loses the first of his nine lives in battle against Scourge, but kills Scourge when he returns to life, defeating BloodClan and saving the forest. Warriors : the new Prophecy Main article : Warriors : The New Prophecy The second series, Warriors : The New Prophecy, was released from 2005 to 2006, and consists of six books : Midnight ( May 10, 2005 ), Moonrise ( August 1, 2005 ), Dawn ( December 27, 2005 ), Starlight ( April 4, 2006 ), Twilight ( August 22, 2006 ), and Sunset ( December 26, 2006 ). In this series, the Clan 's survival is put at risk as humans begin to destroy the forest with machinery. To combat this, one cat from all four Clan 's is chosen to journey and find a new home for the cats to live. These cats are Tawnypelt of ShadowClan, Crowpaw of WindClan, Feathertail of RiverClan, and Brambleclaw of ThunderClan, the latter of whom also struggles with his heritage as the late Tigerstar 's son. Feathertail 's brother Stormfur and the ThunderClan apprentice Squirrelpaw also accompany them. After a long journey, the group discover a lake that they can use as their new territory, which they name ' sun - drown - place. ' Whilst journeying back to report their finding to the Clans, the travelling cats meet a new community called The Tribe of Rushing Water, who are being terrorized by a mountain lion. Feathertail sacrifices her life to kill the mountain lion and save the Tribe. The remaining cats return to their Clans and relay the message. Together, the four Clans travel to their new territory, although many cats perish along the way. During this journey, the boundaries between the Clans begin to blur. Crowfeather ( formerly Crowpaw ) falls in love with the ThunderClan medicine cat Leafpool ; however, as they are from different Clans, they are forbidden from being together. Additionally, Leafpool 's status as a medicine cat dictates she can never have a mate or give birth to kits. They decide to secretly run away together, but return when the ThunderClan camp is attacked by badgers. Leafpool 's mentor, Cinderpelt, dies in the battle, and Leafpool decides that she must remain with her Clan. Meanwhile, Brambleclaw is torn between his loyalty to his Clan and his loyalty to his dead father. He dreams of one day becoming Clan deputy, an ambition that is heightened when he discovers that his father, Tigerstar, can visit him in his dreams. Furthermore, Brambleclaw learns that he has a RiverClan half - brother named Hawkfrost. The two grow close, much to the disdain of Squirrelflight ( formerly Squirrelpaw ). However, Hawkfrost 's bloodthirsty nature is revealed when he traps the ThunderClan leader Firestar, and orders Brambleclaw to murder him. Brambleclaw instead kills Hawkfrost. In return, Firestar accepts the young warrior for who he is, and Brambleclaw is appointed the new deputy of ThunderClan. He later begins a relationship with Squirrelflight. Warriors : Power of three Main article : Warriors : Power of Three The third series, Warriors : Power of Three, was released from 2007 to 2009 and consists of six books : The Sight ( April 24, 2007 ), Dark River ( December 26, 2007 ), Outcast ( April 22, 2008 ), Eclipse ( September 2, 2008 ), Long Shadows ( November 25, 2008 ), and Sunrise ( April 21, 2009 ). The plot is centered on the prophecy, `` There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws '', which was given to Firestar in Firestar 's Quest by Skywatcher. The series revolves around the lives of Jaypaw, Lionpaw and Hollypaw, kits of Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight and grandchildren of the ThunderClan leader Firestar. The three slowly come to terms with their unique paths in life ; Lionpaw worries about his thirst for blood on the battlefield, Hollypaw considers what it means to be truly loyal to her Clan, and Jaypaw is bitter that he was born blind. One day, Jaypaw unintentionally discovers a prophecy that he believes refers to him and his siblings. The three attempt to understand their new destinies, and realize that Lionpaw has the power to never be harmed in battle, whilst Jaypaw can walk in the dreams and read the minds of other cats. Hollypaw, on the other hand, struggles to determine what her unique power is. Hollypaw and Lionpaw are made warriors, becoming Hollyleaf and Lionblaze respectively, whilst Jaypaw becomes a medicine cat and is later given the name Jayfeather. They seek the advice of a mysterious loner named Sol, who promises to give them the answers to their destinies ; however, they eventually realize him to be a deceptive liar, and he is banished from the forest. Although uncertain of their powers, the three cats are always secure in the knowledge that they are deeply loved by their parents. This safe haven is shattered when they are forced into a fire by Ashfur, another ThunderClan warrior. Ashfur wishes to murder the three cats in order to punish their mother, Squirrelflight, for rejecting his love years earlier. However, Squirrelflight admits that the three cats are not her offspring, and Ashfur lets them go. The siblings are deeply distressed by this confession, and attempt to discover who their true parents are. They eventually learn that their mother is Leafpool, the ThunderClan medicine cat, and their father is Crowfeather, a WindClan warrior. Hollyleaf is devastated by this, and murders Ashfur in revenge. Unsatisfied, she then publicly announces to the rest of the Clans the true story of her heritage. When the Clans do not praise her for her honesty, but rather react with shock and confusion, Hollyleaf runs away into a series of collapsing tunnels. Presuming her to be dead, and numb with grief for their sister, Lionblaze and Jayfeather realize that Hollyleaf never had a power in the first place. They instead turn their eyes to two kits newly born in the Clan, one of whom could fulfill the third role in the prophecy. Warriors : Omen of the Stars Main article : Warriors : Omen of the Stars The fourth series, Warriors : Omen of the Stars, was released from 2009 to 2012 and consists of six books : The Fourth Apprentice ( November 24, 2009 ), Fading Echoes ( March 23, 2010 ), Night Whispers ( November 23, 2010 ), Sign of the Moon ( April 5, 2011 ), The Forgotten Warrior ( November 22, 2011 ), and The Last Hope ( April 3, 2012 ). It is a direct continuation of Warriors : Power of Three. Warriors : Dawn of the Clans The fifth series, Warriors : Dawn of the Clans, was released from March 5, 2013 to September 1, 2015 and consists of six books : The Sun Trail ( March 5, 2013 ), Thunder Rising ( November 5, 2013 ), The First Battle ( April 8, 2014 ), The Blazing Star ( November 4, 2014 ), A Forest Divided ( April 7, 2015 ), and Path of Stars ( September 1, 2015 ). Warriors : Dawn of the Clans May also be known as the `` Prequel Series '', due to it being about how the five clans ( ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan ) were created. In The Sun Trail, prey is scarce in the mountain home of the Tribe of Pointed Stones, so a cat named Gray Wing and his companions must leave to find more food and a better home. Once they reach their new forest home Gray Wing falls in love with a rogue cat there named Storm. The Tribe cats start to live in the forest and take in rogue cats. When Gray Wing sees Storm again, he invites her to visit Clear Sky, another former Tribe cat and Gray Wing 's brother. Once she meets Clear Sky, however, she falls in love with him. Gray Wing discovers that Storm is pregnant by Clear Sky and that she is going to live with him, breaking Gray Wing 's heart. When Turtle Tail, another one of the Tribe cats, who becomes a kittypet later in The Sun Trail tells Gray Wing that Storm is in trouble, Gray Wing does not believe her. When he finds Storm, she is dead along with two of her three kits. Storm had left Clear Sky after he banished his own brother Jagged Peak who was barely an adult because he had fallen out of a tree and broken his leg. Clear Sky banished all cats who could n't look after themselves. Gray Wing, Tall Shadow, and the Tribe cats who live on the moor name the surviving kit Thunder. When Gray Wing shows Thunder his father, Clear Sky rejects Thunder. Sad and angry with his brother, Gray Wing adopts Thunder as his own kin. The second book, Thunder Rising, takes place a couple of months after The Sun Trail.

Echo is taught all that Sandstorm was taught before leaving ThunderClan with Firestar on their quest. She is named Echosong. While SkyClan is rebuilding its ranks, rats attack as they did when SkyClan first came to the gorge. SkyClan defeats them by joining together under the direction of Firestar, Leafdapple ( later Leafstar ), and Sharpclaw, her deputy later on. Firestar manages to kill the leader of the rats, after which the rats leave. During the rat attack, Firestar loses a life, leaving him with only seven, and a warrior called Rainfur is killed.

It covers Bluestar 's life from her early kit hood, or childhood, to the beginning of Into the Wild. The novel begins on the day of Bluestar 's death as she saves Fireheart and ThunderClan from the dog pack, a scene from A Dangerous Path. The novel then returns to when Bluestar was still a kit, Bluekit. Bluekit is apprenticed to Stonepelt as Bluepaw, and proves to be an excellent hunter, catching a squirrel almost as big as herself on her first day of hunting. The next day, Goosefeather sees a sign in the vole Snowpaw ( Bluepaw 's sister ) brings back to camp and proclaims that ThunderClan must attack WindClan. Later, he tells them that they must destroy WindClan 's medicine supply in order to keep them at bay during winter. Pinestar is reluctant but agrees to attack at dawn. Bluepaw and Snowpaw are ordered to stay out of the fight, but they help Featherwhisker, the medicine cat apprentice, tend to the wounded. During the battle, Bluepaw 's mother, Moonflower, gets close to destroying WindClan 's medicine supplies, but is killed by Hawkheart, the WindClan medicine cat who had originally been a warrior. Bluepaw enters a state of grief which lasts until Sunfall, the deputy and her new mentor since Stonepelt was injured during the WindClan battle and never healed, talks her out of it, telling her that she must honor Moonflower by doing well. She attends the Gathering that night, where she meets and becomes friendly with Crookedpaw and Oakheart of RiverClan. A while later, Bluepaw receives her warrior name, Bluefur. She finds out that a Clanmate, Thrushpelt, is in love with her, but she dismisses it, deciding that she is too young to have a mate. However, Snowfur wants a Clanmate named Thistlepaw, who is still an apprentice, as a mate. A few moons later, Pinestar announces that he wants no more of the warrior life and goes off to live his last life as a housecat, or kittypet. Sunfall becomes Sunstar and Tawnyspots becomes the new deputy. On a patrol to RiverClan, Bluefur is pulled aside by Oakheart, who tells her to meet him that night at Fourtrees. She does, and the two warriors spend the night together, having fallen in love. About a month later, Tawnyspots falls ill with an incurable illness, so he is unable to be deputy for much longer. Thistlepaw, now Thistleclaw, wishes to become deputy in his place. Bluefur discovers that she is pregnant with Oakheart 's kits. ThunderClan believes her kits are with Thrushpelt and are overjoyed. After Goosefeather convinces her that she must become deputy, and not Thistleclaw due to his violence and ambition, Bluefur reluctantly brings her three kits ( Mosskit, Mistykit, and Stonekit ), to meet their father, Oakheart, to live as RiverClan cats. Mosskit dies along the way. Bluefur then convinces ThunderClan that a fox took her kits. Once Featherwhisker deems Tawnyspots incurable and unfit for the rank of deputy, Sunstar appoints Bluefur as the new deputy. After Sunstar dies, Bluefur becomes Bluestar and receives nine lives. Thistleclaw is outraged by this and continues to be bitter towards Bluestar until he was killed later on. Many months later, she is seen sitting with Spottedleaf, the medicine cat, and hears the `` Fire alone will save our Clan '' prophecy. The manga at the end of the novel depicts Bluestar 's decision to accept Rusty ( later Firestar ) to the Clan. SkyClan 's Destiny SkyClan 's Destiny was released on 3 August 2010. The book follows Leafstar and her struggle to rebuild the once - lost Clan. The book takes place several months after Firestar 's Quest. The Clan 's members are split over whether or not `` daylight - warriors '', housecats who join the Clan in the day and return to their owners at night, should be allowed to be part of the Clan. Leafstar struggles with the decision, as she wants to take Billystorm, one of the daylight - warriors, as a mate, but wants what is best for the Clan. SkyClan then faces a series of challenges caused by visiting rogues. Crookedstar 's promise Crookedstar 's Promise was released on 5 July 2011. It takes place at the same time as Bluestar 's Prophecy and details the life of Crookedstar, initially Stormkit. As a kit, Stormkit falls into the river after he sneaks out of camp and attempts to chase ThunderClan medicine cat Goosefeather away from Sunningrocks, a part of RiverClan territory ( at the time ). This leads him to break his jaw on a rock. Rainflower, Stormkit 's mother, rejects Stormkit due to his disfigured appearance and demands that RiverClan leader Hailstar perform a renaming ceremony to change Stormkit 's name to Crookedkit. Hurt by this, Crookedkit is visited in a dream by Mapleshade, a Dark Forest she - cat who allows Crookedkit to believe that she is from StarClan. She tells him that she can give him anything he wants as long as he is faithful to his Clan and puts all other things aside. Crookedkit quickly accepts this promise, believing it not to be a difficult promise, as he was already loyal to his Clan, and believes that Mapleshade can help him become leader. Mapleshade then uses Crookedkit 's promise to seemingly bring about the deaths of Crookedkit 's loved ones. When Crookedjaw is chasing away a dog, the dog knocks his mother, Rainflower, into a river, and she hits her head on rocks. Mapleshade urges Crookedjaw to focus on the dog instead of bringing his mother to the medicine cat, and she dies. Crookedjaw then becomes deputy upon his father Shellheart 's retirement ; shortly after, Shellheart dies of a lump in his stomach. Not long after, Hailstar loses his last life while fighting rats in a barn : although Mapleshade urges him to not protect Hailstar so he can become leader, Crookedjaw ignores her, having discovered that she is actually from the Dark Forest. Nonetheless, Hailstar is killed. Despite his insistence that she stay away from him, Mapleshade continues to haunt Crookedstar : his mate, Willowbreeze, dies of a respiratory infection days after giving birth to his three kits, and two of the kits die as well. When Crookedstar confronts Mapleshade, she reveals that she had once been the mate of Crookedstar 's great - grandfather. Mapleshade had been a ThunderClan cat, while her mate had been from RiverClan : Mapleshade was cast out by her Clan for taking a forbidden mate, then lost her kits in the river when she attempted to bring them to RiverClan. Her mate blamed her for the kits ' deaths, and RiverClan, too, rejected Mapleshade. As a result, Mapleshade vowed revenge on her former mate 's descendants, one of whom is Crookedstar. When Crookedstar finally reveals his promise and his belief that it caused the deaths of his loved ones, to his medicine cat Brambleberry, she argues that the deaths were not in fact Mapleshade 's fault. Following the conclusion of the novel, Oakheart is killed, then in the manga feature, Silverstream, Crookedstar 's only remaining kit, dies after giving birth to Graystripe of ThunderClan 's kits. Mapleshade asserts that these deaths were her doing as well, but Crookedstar tells Mapleshade that she has failed to punish him, as his loved ones live on in StarClan, while she has no one. Finally, Crookedstar dies as well. A sad ending, but it has to fit in with the rest of the series. Yellowfang 's secret Yellowfang 's Secret was released on 9 October 2012.

H86 War 2008 Followed by Escape From the Forest The book begins with Sasha chasing after her owner 's car, which then speeds off, leaving her grief - stricken in the street. She then is filled with memories of her human owners, Ken and Jean, who took care of her. Everything was right until Jean got sick, and despite all they could do, she died. Ken, lamenting over Jean, then went with several other humans and left the house. Sasha, having escaped from an open bathroom window, began chasing after him. Unsuccessful, she wanders into the forest after seeing her friend Shnuky for the last time. Soon after, she finds an old den made of logs and bedded with leaves, and settles down there. The next day, while hunting prey she encounters a tom named Pine, who engages in conversation with Sasha. He warns her of the Clan cats living in the forest, in the process taking off her collar for her. The next morning, a ShadowClan patrol consisting of Tigerstar, Rowanpaw, and Jaggedtooth comes along, and Sasha takes a particular interest in Tigerstar. After Rowanpaw scents traces of foxes, a frog appears, although he is unsuccessful at catching it. Before it can get away, though, Sasha drops on it and says that it slipped through their paws. The next night, Sasha realizes that she has feelings for Tigerstar, and misses a rabbit while being caught up in her thoughts. Turning around she sees that Tigerstar had caught it for her, criticizes her hunting technique, and tells her she needs someone to show her how to hunt properly. When Sasha asks who would teach her, he says that he might. After a time of not seeing Tigerstar, Sasha returns to her den one evening, only to find Tigerstar already waiting for her. Asking him where he was, he comments on how nice her den was, and then stops and asks when she will be seeing her humans again, after seeing her collar hanging around a protruding branch on the logs. Sasha asks him why he was snooping around in her den, and he tells her that he can not see her any more if she has the collar. She refuses to destroy it, and quarrels with Tigerstar about housecats and how they are not independent. Sad, she reminisces about her perfect life with Jean and Ken. The next day, Sasha leaves a pigeon at the ShadowClan border to prove to Tigerstar that kittypets can hunt. After catching a rabbit, Sasha is attacked by two foxes. Before she can escape, though, Tigerstar comes and attacks the duo of animals, telling her to run. Scrambling up a tree, Sasha sees that the foxes have an advantage over him, and she jumps down to assist him. After defeating both foxes, Tigerstar stays in her den for the night and lets his wounds heal, and tells Sasha that he came to thank her for the pigeon, and that she is unlike any housecat he has ever known. One night Sasha brings Tigerstar to her old fence near the town. Upon sitting on it, he loses interest and Sasha takes offence, although he comments that if she wishes to be a rogue she would have to say goodbye to her old life. Tigerstar shows her around ShadowClan camp the next day, and introduces her to Blackstar, then known as Blackfoot. Sasha is offered to join a patrol, which she accepts. Along the way, she also sees Pine, who has gotten sick because winter is now coming on. Because Sasha does so well on the patrol, Tigerstar invites her to spend the night in the warriors den. Enjoying herself immensely, Sasha accepts. Racing back to the camp, she looks down on the camp from a tree, suddenly stopped by the voices of Tigerstar and his Clanmates. Soon she becomes frightened after Tigerstar discusses his plans to rule the forest with his Clanmates, including hiring BloodClan and setting a pack of dogs on ThunderClan. Extremely scared and changing her mind, Sasha flees, but before she can get far she is approached by Tigerstar who asks if she will join ShadowClan.

The kits go into an abandoned house. Sasha, still trying to find the three, gets confronted by BloodClan warriors, but is able to trick them into fear by telling them she is a Clan warrior out looking for revenge of Tigerstar 's death, and the BloodClan cats end up pointing out the direction they saw the kits go. In the basement, a pipe blows and water leaks rapidly from it. Sasha rescues Hawk and Moth, but Tadpole does n't make it out of the flooding basement. That night, a devastated Sasha dreams of Tigerstar and asks if Tadpole is with him. Tigerstar says no, but confides that he is safe. Sasha later meets with Pine, a loner she had previously met, and he takes her and the kits to a barn where another she - cat lives. After Pine leaves, Sasha is attacked by the queen while Hawk and Moth are attacked by the she - cat 's kits, but Sasha beats her. She leaves with the kits and decides to take them to RiverClan.

Not long into their apprenticeships, Hawkpaw and Mothpaw see other kits from the nursery pretending to be Tigerstar and kill everybody. They ask Sasha why they acted like that about him. Sasha tells them the truth about him and makes them promise again that that was their little secret. Later, Hawkpaw and Mothpaw discover the remnants of the Bonehill, a hill of bones that Tigerstar created in the events of The Darkest Hour. In the end, Sasha decides Clan life is not for her, and she also realizes that her kits are far safer and happier here than with her, so she leaves, but her kits stay. Ravenpaw 's Path Ravenpaw 's Path is another trilogy which is centred around former ThunderClan apprentice Ravenpaw and his life on the farm with the farm cat Barley after the events of The Darkest Hour. Holmes has said that the series takes place in the second half of the year between the original series and The New Prophecy series, soon after Firestar and Sandstorm return to the Clan in Firestar 's Quest.

Inspiration and origins New Forest, which became the base for the forest the cats live in The series first began when publisher HarperCollins asked Victoria Holmes to write a fantasy series about feral cats. Initially, Holmes was not very enthusiastic, since she `` could n't imagine coming up with enough ideas ''. She worked with the concept, however, expanding the storyline with elements of war, politics, revenge, doomed love, and religious conflict. Although the original plan was a stand - alone novel, enough material was created for several books, and the publisher decided on a six - volume series. The first volume, Into the Wild, was written by Kate Cary under the pseudonym `` Erin Hunter '' and was completed in about three months. Holmes then began to work behind the scenes, editing and supervising details. Cherith Baldry joined the team to write the third book, Forest of Secrets. Later, after she wrote the first Warriors field guide, Tui Sutherland became the fourth Erin Hunter. The authors have named several other authors as sources of inspiration when writing the novels. In an online author chat, Cherith Baldry listed the authors that inspire her as including Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Shakespeare. In the same chat, Victoria Holmes stated that Jacqueline Wilson, Kathy Reichs, and J.K. Rowling are some of the authors that inspire her. According to the official website, other authors who have inspired the writers include Enid Blyton, Lucy Daniels, Ellis Peters, Tess Gerritsen, Kate Ellis, Lisa Gardiner, and Meg Cabot. The authors have also mentioned several other sources of inspiration. The New Forest in southern England was the base for the forest where the original series took place. Other influential locations include Loch Lomond, as well as the Scottish Highlands. Nicholas Culpeper, a physician who used materials occurring in the natural world as medicine, also had an influence on the Warriors series. His book, Culpeper 's Herbal, is used as a source by the authors for the herbal remedies that the cats use in the books. In addition, the authors suggested that they may use some fan - created names in future books. Also mentioned as a source of inspiration was the film series Rambo. Critical reception The first book of the series, Into the Wild, was generally well - received, with reviewers calling it a `` spine - tingling, '' `` thoroughly engrossing '' and `` exciting... action - packed adventure. '' One reviewer praised the authors for `` creating an intriguing world... and an engaging young hero '', but another criticised the characters and imagined world as being `` neither... consistent nor compelling. '' The manga has also earned praise : a reviewer for Children 's Bookwatch noted that Into the Woods `` ends on a tense cliffhanger, leaving the reader in anxious anticipation for more. Suitable for readers age ten to one hundred and ten, Warriors Tigerstar & Sasha # 1 : Into the Woods is especially recommended for cat lovers everywhere ''. Its sequel, Escape from the Forest, was also well reviewed : a reviewer for Publishers Weekly believed that girls would benefit from reading about Sasha leaving the powerful Tigerstar due to his `` growing violence ''. The art was also praised, with the reviewer writing that `` Hudson 's artwork brings Sasha 's emotional journey to life, showing each moment of fear, anxiety, contentment and joy. The cat 's - eye perspective of many of the panels, in addition, add ( sic ) a dramatic, energizing element to the book ''. The reviewer also wrote that `` a twist at the end will leave fans eager for the next installment of Sasha 's saga '', and that the book would appeal to young adults trying to find their place in the world. Lisa Goldstein for School Library Journal also gave the book a positive review, writing that the plot would attract new fans and appeal to old fans. The reviewer also wrote that `` though the cover claims that this is a ' manga, ' the straightforward illustrations are drawn in a simple, realistic style ''. The large number of characters involved in the series has often been seen as a negative point ; though one reviewer compared the `` huge cast '' to that of a Greek drama, others wrote that it was `` hard to follow '' and `` a little confusing. '' The characters have also been criticised as being `` somewhat flat '' and `` limited essentially to each individual 's function within the clan. '' As one reviewer put it, the cats in the series are `` true to their feline nature, '' leading some critics to jokingly comment that the books will `` leave readers eyeing Puss a bit nervously '' and wondering `` what dreams of grandeur may haunt the family cat. '' However, this realism also means that the series contains a relatively large amount of violence, with one critic stating that it is `` not for the faint of heart. '' Several critics have compared Warriors to Brian Jacques ' Redwall series, though one commented that it was `` not as elegantly written. '' The New York Times called the series a `` hit with young readers '', specifically because of its `` sprawling universe '', and the series was able to appear on the New York Times Bestseller List for a total of 117 weeks, as of 24 November 2013. Awards and recognitions Into the Wild was nominated for the Pacific Northwest Library Association 's 2006 Young Reader 's Choice Awards but lost to Christopher Paolini 's Eragon. It was also listed on Booklist 's Top 10 fantasy books for youth in 2003 and was a Book Sense 76 Pick. The Sight was nominated for the best Middle Readers book in Amazon 's Best Books of the Year ( 2007 ) and placed sixth out of the ten nominees, with six percent of the total votes. It was also nominated for the Children 's Choice Book Awards. In 2006, Warriors also received an honorable mention for the best book series for Publisher Weekly 's `` On the Cuff '' awards. Themes Themes in the series often revolve around forbidden love, such as those involving Bluestar and Oakheart, Graystripe and Silverstream, Leafpool and Crowfeather, and Dovewing and Tigerheart. These relationships are not allowed for various reasons : some involve medicine cats ( such as Leafpool ), who can not have mates, while others develop between cats in different Clans, which is forbidden by the warrior code. Holmes said that another central theme of the series centres on `` faith and spirituality '' in StarClan. All books in the series feature the influence of StarClan, not just as the cats think of them, but in terms of prophecies delivered by StarClan which inevitably come true. Some scenes take place within StarClan 's realm, with no living cats present as point - of - view characters. Thus the existence of an afterlife and the influence of spirits who have passed on and yet retain their earthly identities is integral to all of the plot arcs in the series. Another idea explored in the novels is the reactions of different faiths when meeting each other. For example, the Tribe of Rushing Water, which believes in different spiritual ancestors than the Clans, is introduced in Moonrise. In an author chat, Holmes explained that the books never say that either of the Clans or the Tribe of Rushing Water is right about faith because both are `` equally valid. '' This leads to fear and suspicion between them because they are afraid of things they do not understand. Holmes said that `` ignorance is a very scary thing ! '' Non-belief is also significant in the storylines : Mothwing and Cloudtail do not believe in StarClan. Another theme is that characters can be a mix of good and evil. Holmes has said she is fascinated by these `` shades of gray '' in personalities. Her example of this was when Bluestar, a noble and honorable cat, gave up her kits for her own ambitions so an evil cat would not take over. Another example she gave of this is how the antagonist Tigerstar, even with all of his faults, is still courageous and fiercely loyal. Similarly, Holmes has also connected the theme to Brambleclaw and how nobody knew whether he was good or evil. A third major theme, often referred to as nature versus nurture, explores whether a person is born the way he or she will be, or if other things shape that. For example, Brambleclaw 's father is the evil Tigerstar, but he eventually demonstrates that despite this, he is not evil himself, despite initial suspicion from Clanmates due to his father 's legacy. This theme ties into the `` shades of gray '' theme. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly noted that friendship and responsibility are taught to characters in the novels, while booksforyouths.com had a reviewer who pointed out the idea that, just as Clan cats shun house cats for their soft life, people should realize that it is necessary to experience hardship in life. A Storysnoops review noted that one of the themes was that `` it does n't matter where you come from, only who you are inside ''. In Dawn, the importance of cooperation is explored. The four Clans, normally hostile to each other, are forced to work together in order to find a new home. Other themes that have been pointed out deal with family, loss, honor, bravery, death, loyalty, and following rules. Holmes has said that one of the good things about writing a book about cats is that `` we can tackle difficult human issues such as death, racial intolerance, and religious intolerance ( without seeming so heavy ). '' Editions All of the Warriors books except for the manga have been published as hardcovers, and the majority of them have also been published as paperbacks. Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset from The New Prophecy, as well as the first four Omen of the Stars books, are available in an audiobook format. The New Prophecy audiobooks are spoken by Nanette Savard, whose performance has been praised by reviewers. A reviewer for AudioFile wrote : `` Nanette Savard brings out the youth of the cats who are struggling to help their clan survive and to protect each other from outside danger. '' The Omen of the Stars audiobooks are spoken by Kathleen McInerney, a pseudonym of Veronica Taylor. The books in the four main series have also been released in an e-book format. Foreign Editions The Warriors series was first published in the United States and United Kingdom. The editions published of the first two series -- Warriors and Warriors : The New Prophecy -- in the United Kingdom had slight variations in cover design from their United States counterparts. Warriors is also sold in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. Translations from English into other languages such as Czech, Lithuanian, Finnish, Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Korean have been published more recently. The first six books have been published in Korea, Italy and Latin America, the first five series in Germany and the first three series in the Netherlands. Fandom also exists in Trinidad and Singapore. The first two books have been published in Poland. Other media Website The Warriors website features Warriors screensavers, along with videos on the process of writing a manga book and a video promoting The Last Hope. There is also a `` How To Draw Manga '' page. In addition, there are games, including quizzes, the New Prophecy Adventure, and the Warriors Adventure Game. On the Frequently Asked Questions section of the site, Erin Hunter said that they are working on an online game that would be released in late 2010. It finished the first round of testing in summer 2010, but has not been released. Whether it will be a role - playing game is unknown. Erin Hunter has stated on the official Warriors website that there is still no plan for an official video game, but if there was, it would probably be based on a movie version of the Warriors series, which is currently not under consideration. Many fans have also created their own forum - based role - playing games. Film Main article : Warriors ( live action film ) On October 20, 2016, Victoria Holmes announced that Alibaba Pictures has bought the rights for a film, and is planning to do one with David Heyman set as producer. Short stories The first short story written by Erin Hunter is `` Spottedleaf 's Honest Answer ''. In it, the spirit of former ThunderClan medicine cat Spottedleaf discusses her love for Firestar. It gives information on what happened in the Warriors series from Into the Wild to Firestar 's Quest. On 20 January 2009, another short story, `` The Clans Decide '', was released on the Warriors Ultimate Leader Election site, starring Firestar, who won an election through an online fan vote conducted in recognition of President Obama 's Inauguration Day. In the story, the four Clans vote for a way to survive a tough winter. Every cat at the meeting votes on whether or not the Clans should work together to survive the winter. The cats vote in favour of working together. Two short stories, `` After Sunset : The Right Choice ? '' and `` The Elders ' Concern '', are included with the Warriors mobile application. `` The Elders ' Concern '' has been noted to contain timeline errors. Taking place after Bluestar 's selection of Fireheart for deputy, it is about the elder Halftail, who is unhappy with the decision, and wakes the other elders to discuss it with them. In `` After Sunset : The Right Choice ? '', After Brambleclaw is forced to kill Hawkfrost, he is worried about what Firestar might do, but Firestar is extremely proud of him. Plays Written by Victoria Holmes for a tour, a play titled After Sunset : We Need to Talk was first premiered on 28 April 2007 at the Secret Garden bookstore in Seattle, Washington. It details a meeting between Leafpool of ThunderClan and Crowfeather of WindClan after the events of Sunset. The script was released to the public on the official site for the Warriors series. During a fundraising event in Russellville, Arkansas, Brightspirit 's Mercy was performed by various high school drama students. The second of two plays by Erin Hunter, Brightspirit 's Mercy is about Jaypaw, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. After going to a Gathering, where it is obvious all of the Clans except for ThunderClan are starving, three cats from StarClan appear to them : Brightspirit and her parents, Shiningheart and Braveheart, characters created on Wands and Worlds, a fantasy fiction forum, in memory of a 10 - year - old Warriors fan, Emmy Grace Cherry, and her parents, Dana and Jimmy Cherry, who were killed in a tornado in February 2007. They tell the three young cats that they must help feed the other Clans. Jaypaw is easily convinced, but Hollyleaf and Lionblaze are harder to win over. Eventually, they agree and hunt, then wait at the WindClan border for a patrol. Ashfoot, WindClan 's deputy, accepts the gift, but Breezepaw, too proud to have help from another Clan, refuses to eat it. Jaypaw, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf then head towards another Clan 's territory. An example of a cat named Brambleclaw on a Chinese trading card. In the Chinese translation of the series, `` 3 - D trading cards '' are packaged in each book. The 3 - D effect is produced using stereoscopic lenticular printing. These cards feature pictures of the cats on the centre of the bookcover and their Chinese and English names, and biographical information on the back.
