## Summary

As the icy grip of leaf-bare tightens around the lake, the five warrior cat Clans face moons of cold and darkness-and far worse, the voices of their ancestors in StarClan have grown dim and silent. Only one medicine cat apprentice still hears them, in a strange vision of a looming shadow in their midst. One that threatens the fate of all five Clans...and the warrior code they live by.

## Detailed plot description

*Looking for a shorter overview? Find one here!*

A spirit in an unspecified residence observes Puddleshine and Shadowpaw heading towards the Moonpool for the half-moon meeting. He nods approvingly at Shadowpaw's eagerness and states that great change is coming to the Clans and that Shadowpaw will have a big role to play and that his name would be remembered for as long as the Clans survive.
Shadowpaw is grooming his pelt when Dovewing and Tigerstar come over and gaze down at him with pride and joy in their eyes. Tigerstar tells Shadowpaw that they've come just to see him off to the Moonpool when Shadowpaw asks his father what it is. Shadowpaw is very embarrassed because of it, feeling that his parents are still treating him like a kit in the nursery. He then thinks that his parents hadn't made such a fuss when his littermates, Pouncestep and Lightleap, became warriors but then decides that it is probably because he is a medicine cat apprentice or because of the seizures he had when he was a kit. He thinks that his parents are hoping that with some proper training with other medicine cats, he would become normal. Shadowpaw is a very nervous cat.
Later, the medicine cats realize that they cannot contact StarClan. They all think it is because of the Moonpool being frozen, but Shadowpaw senses it is something else, because of some of Bramblestar's actions. He has a mysterious voice in his head that tells him about "codebreakers".
