Discover the origins of the warrior Clans in the fifth book of this thrilling Warriors prequel series from #1 nationally bestselling author Erin Hunter. The Dawn of the Clans series takes readers back to the earliest days of the Clans, when the cats first settled in the forest and began to forge the warrior code. The spirit-cats have spoken: to survive, the cats from the mountains must grow and spread like the Blazing Star. Clear Sky believes the only way to grow is to band together again, but few cats are willing to ally with him. While Tall Shadow plans to establish a new camp in the pine forest, River Ripple is content by the water, and Wind Runner has made her own home on the moor. The time has now come for all cats to decide where they will live-and where their allegiances truly lie. Dawn of the Clans #5: A Forest Divided also contains an exclusive bonus scene and a teaser to the next Warriors adventure.
Erin Hunter's #1 nationally bestselling Warriors series continues in Warriors: Omen of the Stars-now featuring fierce new art. The first book in this fourth series, Warriors: Omen of the Stars #1: The Fourth Apprentice, brings more adventure, intrigue, and thrilling battles to the epic world of the warrior Clans. It has been foretold that Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and one other cat will hold the power of the stars in their paws. Now they must wait for a sign from StarClan to tell them which of their Clanmates will complete the prophecy.
