However, Hollyleaf is homesick, and sometimes goes back up onto ThunderClan territory. Fallen Leaves is upset that she risks being caught, and even when Hollyleaf is almost killed by a fox, she still does not stop the visits.

Soon, however, Twoleg monsters begin felling trees in SkyClan's territory. The prey disappears, and the cats are surrounded by monsters. Cloudstar tries to take back a strip of land given to ThunderClan by Darkstar long ago, but SkyClan is defeated.

Tawnypelt convinces the Tribe to listen to him, and they do as he says, stopping a large tree from crashing over the waterfall and destroying the cave.

The monster stops at a farm, and Pebbleshine meets a farm cat named Bug, who strangely has a friendly relationship with a dog named Bunny. Later, Pebbleshine ends up in a distant Twolegplace, where she meets two kittypets named Milo and Olive. After Pebbleshine explains to them that she has to find a monster camp, they happily agree to help her.

A yellow StarClan tom helps her give birth to two she-kits; one gray, and one black-and-white. Soon after this, whilst defending her kits from a badger, Pebbleshine is hit by a monster and goes to StarClan.

:Earth is a kit born among the Sisters, a group of she-cats that cast toms out to wander the land when they come of age, believing that it is their duty. Earth has tried and failed to communicate with the earth and see spirits, the latter being something kits born of the Sisters are also supposed to be able to do. He and his friend, Stream, are getting ready for when they will be sent off to wander. But before they come of age, Stream is struck by lightning in a terrible storm and dies, leaving Earth to wander alone. Despite his attempts to persuade his mother and leader of the Sisters, Moonlight, otherwise, Earth is sent away when he comes of age. Separated from the cats he had grown up with, including his sisters, Sunrise and Ice, Earth is unable to survive on his own and almost dies, but is saved by a loner named Root, who he later finds out is his father. Earth changes his name to Tree, and he and Root wander together for a couple of moons until Root is tragically killed by a fox. Distraught, Tree resolves to remain a loner and never grow attached to any other cat again, believing it only causes heartbreak. Eight moons later, Tree meets a heavily pregnant she-cat named Pebbleshine, who he helps escape from another fox with guidance from Root's spirit. Root advises Tree to find someone to spend his life with, and Tree, his hope reignited, hopes that one day he will.
====Mothwing's Secret====
:Mothwing and Hawkfrost are the children of a rogue named Sasha and Tigerstar, the latter being a former tyrant of the forest, now deceased. Having been accepted into RiverClan, Mothwing and Hawkfrost must fit in as non Clan-born cats and keep the identity of their father a secret. Mothwing develops a yearning to heal the sick like Mudfur, the medicine cat, and asks to become his apprentice, but he says that they must wait for a sign from StarClan. Mothwing is skeptical about the existence of such an afterlife, but complies, wanting to be a medicine cat more than anything. Hawkfrost, believing that he and Mothwing would be cast out if Mothwing failed to gain StarClan's approval, fakes a sign from their ancestors so that Mothwing is made Mudfur's apprentice without his sister's knowledge. Mothwing is elated and begins to believe in StarClan, but her dreams are crushed when Hawkfrost reveals the truth. Hawkfrost uses this secret to convince Mothwing to fake signs for him, and Mothwing watches as her brother grows darker and distant. Many moons later, after the Clans have moved to the lake, Mothwing sees her brother's evil spirit in the battle against the Dark Forest, but he is unrecognizable. She speaks with Mudfur, who passed away in the old forest, and although he proves StarClan's existence, Mothwing decides to believe that their ancestors do not always know or mean the best for the living Clans, and leaves that part of her medicine cat duties to her apprentice, Willowshine.
===A Warrior's Choice===
====Daisy's Kin====
:Daisy is in a poor mental state after losing her son, Berrynose, and daughter, Rosepetal, in battle, leaving Mousewhisker as her sole surviving kit. She is also doubtful of her place in ThunderClan due to it being very unstable after the impostor's rule, and because there are no queens or kits for Daisy to help care for as a permanent queen. One day, Smoky, Daisy's former mate, appears. He tells Daisy that his new mate, Coriander, is having birthing complications. Daisy, Mousewhisker, Alderheart, and Sorrelstripe come to aid the birth. Coriander tragically passes away after giving birth to two healthy kits and a stillborn. Coriander's dying wish is for the kits to be raised in the horseplace and not by Clan cats or Nofurs. With no mother to give milk to the newborns, Smoky grows desperate to keep his kits alive. He and the Clan cats try to find a kittypet named Coco, but to no avail. Alderheart resorts to a temporary solution by giving the kits chewed prey, but the medicine cat warns that the kits will die without milk. Daisy and Alderheart want the kits to be brought to SkyClan until they are weaned, and although Smoky rejects this idea, he obliges for the kits' sake. The patrol goes through WindClan territory and stops in ThunderClan's camp, where Jayfeather makes sure the kits are able to go to SkyClan with traveling herbs. Before making it to SkyClan territory, a hawk attacks the patrol, but they are saved by the Sisters. One Sister, Sunshine, nurses the kits along with her own. Smoky names the kits Coriander and Daisy, with the latter being nicknamed Little Daisy. Once Smoky's kits are weaned, they, along with Daisy and Smoky return to the horseplace, where Daisy stays to help raise the kits; she begins to consider a life with Smoky and the kits. Eventually, a ThunderClan patrol announces the birth of Spotfur's kits, and Daisy bids Smoky's family farewell and returns home with Mousewhisker, having realized that her true place is in ThunderClan.
====Blackfoot's Reckoning====
:Following the battle with BloodClan, Blackfoot travels to the Moonstone, where Sagewhisker gives him the option to leave, but he stays. Hollyflower and Blizzardwing approach him, and he remembers discovering that Blizzardwing is his father. Blizzardwing gives him his first life for acceptance. Raggedstar approaches, and Blackfoot has a vision in which he had defended Brokenpaw against Ashheart. Raggedstar gives him his second life for trust. As Badgerfang's turn comes, Blackfoot he sees Badgerpaw dying in battle, and Badgerfang gives him his third life for perspective. Gray Wing appears, and Blackfoot is shown ShadowClan driving WindClan out. He receives his fourth life for unity. He sees Rosetail, whom he remembers killing while stealing ThunderClan's kits, and she grants him his fifth life for compassion. Bluestar comes up to Blackfoot, and he recalls Tigerclaw's promise to help the exiled ShadowClan rogues. She gives him his sixth life for judgment. As Stonefur approaches him, Blackfoot sees him being killed by Darkstripe and Blackfoot himself, and Stonefur gives him his seventh life for integrity. Nightstar's appearance gives Blackfoot the memory of helping ShadowClan when they were ill, and Nightstar gives him his eighth life for loyalty. Shadowstar is the final cat to approach, and Blackfoot is given visions of the future, before receiving his final life for leadership.
====Spotfur's Rebellion====
:Spotpaw is a young ThunderClan apprentice who admires and tries to prove her bravery to a fellow apprentice, Stempaw. During her apprenticeship, the ThunderClan camp floods, and Spotpaw rescues Flipkit. Later, when she becomes a warrior, StarClan goes silent, and she and Stemleaf grow closer, eventually becoming mates. Bramblestar falls ill, and does not improve despite the efforts to cure him. Shadowpaw claims of a vision telling him to leave Bramblestar in the snow to cure him. However, the leader dies, but is mysteriously revived during his vigil. Afterwards, he behaves erratically and is strangely harsh: he severely punishes small mistakes and is obsessed with the warrior code—Bristlefrost also reports cats to him. Spotfur and Stemleaf gather cats in secret to discuss Bramblestar's actions. The rebels learn from Tree that the cat inside Bramblestar's body is not truly Bramblestar—something that Squirrelflight already suspects. Later, the cats disagree on what to do, with Squirrelflight wanting to not kill Bramblestar while Spotfur and Stemleaf think it is the only way. Spotfur, Stemleaf, and three others secretly attack Bramblestar, but they are overpowered by the impostor. Stemleaf, Dappletuft, and Conefoot are killed. Spotfur is grief-stricken, and Squirrelflight tells her that despite their losses, ThunderClan is always worth fighting for.
