Prologue

Lilyflower.

That name may not ring a bell, but it was her, the blue-eyed she-cat, who gave Crookedstar his fifth life - and the gift of compassion.

But how was she involved in Crookedstar's life, I hear you ask?

She was a cat Crookedstar admired. Lilyflower did something extraordinary, something which stays in Crookedstar's memory, no matter what he did wrong.

At long last, the story of the inspiration behind Lilyflower's gift, and the love that she found, is going to be told.
