Deep under the hills beyond the lake, cold water rushes through tunnels no Clan cat is supposed to remember. For Lionpaw, Hollypaw and Jaypaw, the young grandchildren of ThunderClan leader Firestar, apprenticeship was meant to mean training, hunting and loyalty to the warrior code. Instead each is hiding something. Lionpaw has found a secret friend and a hidden path, Jaypaw, the blind medicine-cat apprentice, can slip into other cats' dreams and glimpse cats who lived by the lake long before the Clans, and Hollypaw carries knowledge that could stop a battle if anyone would believe her. As rivalry sharpens around them, the dark river is waiting to pull them under.
