Pages-336. Lionpaw, Jaypaw and Hollypaw have returned to ThunderClan with news of a successful mission. Then one night a mysterious stranger arrives, predicting a solar eclipse. When WindClan attacks for no obvious reason, the eclipse occurs- startling every cat into a motionless silence. When ThunderClan finds that Sol, the mysterious cat, has run off, no one other than the three apprentices worries about it. Hollypaw believes that Sol may understand their prophecy and runs off after Sol's scent. As it turns out Sol knows nothing about the prophecy and they return to camp slightly disapointed. Later on, Firestar makes Hollypaw and Lionpaw into warriors and goes to the gathering. At the gathering ShadowClan makes a startling anoucement. They no longer believe in StarClan and are leaving the lake.

Three young cats earn their place in their Clan as their destiny seems to take them to places beyond the ken of them or any other cat - living or dead. Where will it take them.

A worthy step in the saga of Hollypaw, Lionpaw and Jaypaw. ( )

Defiantly the best book so far! The poor kitty's though....Eclipse is a hard concept for them... I can't wait to read the next books! ( )

I am astounded and astonished. How does Erin Hunter do it? She has created yet another superb piece of literature. How does she always create an ending leaving us craving more of her work? How does she make the world of warriors come alive with her so-finely crafted characters? Erin Hunter, HOW?! ( )
