What Midnight is about
Deep in the forest, several cat Clans have kept the peace for many moons. That calm is about to end. Messages arrive from the Clans' warrior ancestors, and they speak of new prophecies and a danger no one can name. One foretelling says that darkness, air, water and sky will join forces and shake the whole forest to its roots.
The signs point toward a young warrior called Brambleclaw, who may hold the forest's fate in his paws. The other cats named in the prophecy are still unknown, and a quest is about to begin that will demand the best of the Clans' strongest fighters. It is a story about duty, destiny and courage, written for readers who enjoy animal adventures with a sense of looming trouble.
