## Prologue

A gray tabby tom with blind blue eyes was panting as he carried herbs to and fro. He lay down to rest, panting, his skinny belly rising and falling.

He made his way over to a dark ginger she-cat, who was weak. Very, very weak.

"Go care... for Bramblestar," the dark ginger she-cat coughed, pointing to a dark brown tabby tom. "He's more... important than I... am."

"No!" the gray tabby gasped. "Squirrelflight, you may not be my true mother, but please, don't die!"

"No, Jayfeather," Squirrelflight whispered. "Go care for... Bramblestar." She twitched for one final time, and lay dead.

Jayfeather rushed over to Bramblestar, but saw that his leader wasn't breathing. He

saw the dead bodies of Cinderheart, Dovewing, Ivypool, Rosepetal, Ambermoon, Lilyheart, Sparkpaw, and Purdy lying on the death-scent-filled clearing. He yowled a long "No!" and fell dead.

From behind a bush came a long-furred cream she-cat. She saw her dead Clanmates and then she knew what to name her kits. Thunderkit, Rosekit, and Dovekit. Then she, Daisy, rechristened herself Daisyfur and set out for the Moonstone.

## Chapter One

Blossomkit and Lionkit were the kits of Roseheart, daughter of Daisystar, named after one of Daisystar's deceased daughters, Rosepetal. Thunderclap was named Thunderkit when ThunderClan almost died out, and his sister Dovefeather was named after the deceased Dovewing.

"Come on, Lionkit," Blossomkit teased. "You're so slow! A slug could beat you in a race!"

"No slug is *this* fast!" laughed Lionkit, zooming past Blossomkit. "Race you around camp and back here!" Blossomkit took off after Lionkit.

Roseheart was sitting in the nursery entrance, washing herself. She purred at her kits in amusement.

"Hey, Lionkit!" Blossomkit called, skidding to a stop. "Watch out!"

Unfortunately, Lionkit didn't hear his sister's warning in time and when he skidded to a stop, he hit an apprentice, Flamepaw.

Flamepaw complained to his mentor Snowfall, who dismissed it. "Lionkit's just a kit, you know," Snowfall sighed.
