PROLOGUE

The ginger she-cat's gaze slowly strayed from the full moon to her companion. "Tonight, your warriors will attend their Reunion, Dawnpaw?"

Dawnpaw shifted. "They will be at their Gathering, yes," she replied quietly. She stared at her white paws without further conversation.

The she-cat nodded. "Who remains at your camp?"

"I don't know. Skystar will tell us. I'm sorry, Echo."

Echo curled her tail around her paws. "Go to your camp. Will you attend the Reuinon?"

"Most likely, Echo," Dawnpaw murmured.

"Then go," Echo hissed, her yellow eyes flashing.

"When you return, blood will spill. It is then where you reveal your loyalties, wherever those might be. But you know the side you should fight with."
