　　火星罹患綠咳症？！松鴉掌將回到古代貓的世界，完成他的使命……

　　現在，為了他們自己以及全雷族著想，他們必須協力永遠藏住這個祕密。

　　「索日在影族的時代必須終結，」碎星說，雙眼定定望著黑足。「他就像黑暗，遮蔽了太陽。」

　　「他似乎從你手上奪去對影族的掌控權，」碎星又說。「但他會隱沒，並在接下來的光明中被遺忘的。往後的無數個月裡，光明將照耀影族。」

　　「我……我聽到了，」黑足結結巴巴地說。「我會照你的話去做的。」

　　卡在樹枝間的小雲努力以恭敬的姿態點點頭。「影族會回歸戰士祖先的懷抱，」他承諾著，又說：「你把我們的實習生怎麼了？」

　　影族背棄星族，誓言追尋黑暗的預言。

　　但並非所有的貓都對星族失去信心，該如何做才能讓星族再度回歸影族的擁抱？

　　The Clans are in turmoil. ShadowClan has turned its back on StarClan and pledged to follow the dark predictions of Sol, the strange cat who foretold the solar eclipse. But not all the cats have lost faith in their warrior ancestors. . . .

　　Jaypaw is convinced that StarClan still holds an important place in the warrior code, and his search for answers leads him far back into the past, farther back than even StarClan can remember. Lionblaze, tortured by violent dreams and bloody visions, wishes he had never been prophesied to be one of the three but to turn his back on his littermates would be the ultimate betrayal. And Hollyleaf is terrified that once the Clans lose their faith, the warrior code will fall apart. She's willing to fight tooth and nail to preserve it-whatever the cost.

　　And when murder stalks into the heart of ThunderClan, the cats realize that the darkest shadows don't always lie outside the territory.

　　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。
