Three new kits have been born to a MoonClan Queen; Bluekit, Bouncekit, and Meadowkit. The three show much promise as future Warriors, but a darkness blocks their paths. No one would have expected that something as simple as a kitten's curious adventure or a minnow in a river could change so much, and their destinies are, indeed, hard ones. The weight of three Clans lay upon their shoulders, and they must make many difficult choices. If they fail, they will die. If they fail, the Clans will come tumbling down after them, and no one will survive.
