#1 in Warriors: The Original Series
What’s inside...
Rusty, a curious kittypet, trades the comfort of a Twoleg house for life among the feral warrior Clans that rule a vast forest. Renamed Firepaw, he must win the trust of ThunderClan, master the warrior code, and confront rival Clans and hidden treachery. Through battles, mentorship, and the discovery of an ominous prophecy—“Fire alone can save our Clan”—Firepaw begins a journey of self-discovery, loyalty, and courage that shapes the destiny of all cats in the forest.
