In the canopies of the forest, in the peaceful camp of Thunderclan, two important figures have died: Gingerstar and Leopardsky, leader and deputy respectively. Stormfoot, a caring and gentle blue-gray she-cat, was the last deputy to be chosen. She plans to rule peacefully over her clan, deterring as much conflict as possible. However, unbeknosts to her, Riverclan has gotten other plans ever since the ascension of Chickenscratch, as their deputy. Her plan of peace becomes more and more strict and hostile, as Thunderclan starts to realize something is wrong for the young Stormstar.
