Fireheart's traitorous enemy, the Fierce Tiger, had been defeated and banished from the Thunder Clan. Yet Fireheart still felt the ferocious cat lurking in the forest, waiting for his chance to strike. This wasn't the only problem facing the young warrior during these sweltering summer months, as he struggled with ominous prophecies, a rookie hiding a shocking secret, and a shattered clan leader who no longer bore any resemblance to the leader he knew. Meanwhile, the heat is scorching the forest... and everyone is preparing to face the coming storm... From the atmosphere of the novel, we read: “Fireheart stared into Dusty Hand’s eyes, which were gleaming fiercely. ‘The Nimrod Tail is dead.’ Dusty Hand’s eyes flashed. ‘Did you kill him?’ Fireheart hesitated, as Morning Star, standing beside him, growled threateningly. ‘Of course we didn’t kill him. Thunder Clan mutts aren’t killers.’ Dusty Hand retorted sharply. ‘You’re just protecting killers!’ At this, the Wind Clan warrior arched his back aggressively. Morning Star hissed, ‘You’ll let us through!’ Fireheart froze as he saw his leader bare her claws, her fur poking up in preparation for an attack.”
