CHAPTER 1
“Let all cats old enough tocatch their own prey1 join here beneath the Highledge for a Clan2 meeting.”
Squirrelflight woke with a start as the ThunderClan leader’s yowl rang out across the stone hollow. Cloudtail was already pushing his way out through the thorny3 branches that screened the warriors5’ den6. His mate, Brightheart, uncurled herself from their mossy nest and followed him.
“What does Firestar want now?” Dustpelt muttered, pulling himself stiffly to his paws and shaking scraps10 of moss7 from his fur. With an irritated flick11 of his ears, he thrust his way into the open after his Clanmates.
Stretching her jaws12 in a yawn, Squirrelflight sat up and gave herself a quick grooming13. Dustpelt’s temper was even shorter than usual this morning; Squirrelflight could see from his awkward movements that the wound he’d received in the battle against Mudclaw was still painful. Most of the ThunderClan cats still bore the rebels’ clawmarks; Squirrelflight’s side stung from a wound of her own, and she drew her tongue over it in rapid, soothing14 strokes.
Mudclaw had been deputy of WindClan until the Clans15 arrived in their new territory around the lake. The previous leader, Tallstar, had appointed Onewhisker to succeed him instead just moments before he died; furious, Mudclaw had led a rebellion against Onewhisker before he had the chance to receive his nine lives from StarClan. And Hawkfrost of RiverClan had helped him. Squirrelflight felt a surge of anger as she remembered how Brambleclaw still insisted on trusting his half brother, even after he had seen that Hawkfrost was up to his ears in Mudclaw’s treachery.
