Forced to assume the position of his mentor after her death, ShadowClan's lonely young medicine cat receives a message from StarClan warning him of a traitor lurking in ShadowClan's ranks. This caution proves grimly accurate in due time- a gruesome murder occurs in ShadowClan territory with our protagonist as the sole witness- but when he's discovered and extorted by the culprit, he becomes entangled within this murderous plot and unable to find a way out. Searching for leads on the mystery behind his late mother's life and finding that the uncertainty behind the murderer's motivations are connected, he's faced with a crucial decision- should he come out with the truth and risk his life, or remain quiet and watch as ShadowClan's leadership is decimated? As a disclaimer, this book contains violence (about the same level as a typical Warriors book) and mild gore.
