Prologue

The forest was still and silent aside from a few crickets that stirred in the undergrowth. Newleaf had arrived, and the rich scents of warm air filled the forest.

A cat moved stealthily throughout the undergrowth. Ferns and branches brushed against his warm pelt. His amber eyes glowed in the darkness of night as he wandered aimlessly throughout the territories that stretched over each other.

He stopped when a mew sounded from nearby. His ears pricked forward in alarm until he recognized a pair of blue eyes gleaming in the darkness.

"I was wondering if anyone would come," he growled when he came to a halt.

The intruder hiding in the bushes gasped when they saw his face for the first time. Three long scratch marks stretched across his face. Half of the fur was torn apart by scorch marks. The blue-eyed stranger flinched at the sight.

"Yes, my face is horribly scarred," the tom snarled. "But it has fed my hunger for revenge. And you are here to help me."

"And how will I help you?" the stranger demanded.

"By destroying ThunderClan."
