Dark River
Warriors: Power of Three Series
The three children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, grandchildren of the great leader Firestar, have thrived in their apprenticeships: Lionpaw's strength and energy serve him well as a warrior in training, Hollypaw hones her understanding of the warrior code, and Jaypaw explores his mysterious powers and connection to StarClan as the medicine cat apprentice.
With more experience comes both power and danger: Lionpaw makes a friendship—and a discovery—that must be kept hidden; Jaypaw learns a secret that could benefit ThunderClan by damaging others; and Hollypaw knows something that could avert a battle, if she could convince the rest of her Clan.
The three are torn apart as each discovers darkness: in themselves, in the Clans, and in the past. And, as conflict begins over what it means to be a warrior, rising tensions threaten to overflow, washing away the peace that has existed for many moons.

In this third Warriors series, the stories are centered on the prophecy, "there will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws", which was given to Firestar by Skywatcher, in Firestar's Quest. The series follows three young cats named Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze, who are Firestar's grandkits, apparently making them the cats of the prophecy. Jayfeather is blind, but soon discovers he has a unique power; Lionblaze power is revealed, too; but for Hollyleaf, discovering her power is not so straightforward...
