貓戰士三部曲:三力量 之三:驅逐之戰 (Warriors: Power of Three #3: Outcast)
殺無盡部落的秘密即將揭曉?!
獅掌與松鴉掌是否會迷失於自身力量......
急水部落遭遇到入侵危機,他們向雷族尋求援助,但雷族也自顧不暇地擔憂四族邊界的紛爭。
要怎麼做才能使急水部落再過和平生活?
尖石巫師又開始說話了。「想開戰的請到洞的那一頭,」他揮揮尾巴。「至於想離開這裡的,請到這一頭。千萬記住,急水部落的未來就掌握在你們自己手中。」
「希望他們還有未來。」獅掌低聲道。
但等了一會兒,都沒有貓兒移動腳步。冬青掌心想這些部落貓一定是搞不懂尖石巫師到底要他們做什麼。這時她看見那隻瘦巴巴的白色老貓暴雲,對著另一隻有斑點的棕色公貓咕噥道。
「你認為呢?雨兒?」暴雲問他。「要開戰還是離開這裡?」
老公貓嫌惡地冷哼一聲。「我不喜歡開戰,但我太老了,沒有力氣逃離這裡。」
松鴉掌著迷於預言所允諾的力量,他相信力量的謎底就藏在遠古的歲月,以及常潛入他夢裡的古老貓身上。
三隻貓知道唯有山裡隱藏著他們急於尋找的答案......

There will be three,
Kin of you kin....
Who hold the
Power of the stars
In their paws.
A secret prophecy shapes the lives of Firestar's grandchildren, but only one of the three knows about it. Jaypaw is captivated by the power it promises, and he believes the key to that power may lie buried in the distant past -- with the ancient cats who once walked these woods and now prowl through his dreams. His search for answers leads him toward the mountains -- the home of the Tribe of Rushing Water. Lionpaw and Hollypaw feel drawn to the mountains too, for different reasons.
But the mountains hide secrets as well as answers, and if the three cats find a way to get there, they may discover more than they ever expected.

貓戰士(Warriors)的寫作靈感來自對貓的熱愛,以及對大自然弱肉強食的好奇與著迷。艾琳總是以敬畏的心看待大自然中的各種現象,加上對占星術和英國巨石陣的興趣,所以很喜歡用豐富的神話語言來詮釋動物行為。
