Leopardpaw knows she is destined to be a great warrior who will save her Clan--and in a time of hardship, conflict, and loss, RiverClan desperately needs a leader who can guide them through an uncertain future. The ambitious ThunderClan deputy Tigerclaw believes he can help her fulfill her destiny, but as Leopardstar rises to follow in Crookedstar's paw steps, she must decide what kind of leader she will be--one who maintains peace among the Clans, or one who is willing to sacrifice anything for the good of her own.
