Prologue

A large black tom raced across a rocky moor. The only thing visible in the moonlight was a small abandoned stone building. It was in the middle of the night, and the only thing that could be heard were the faint sound of grasshoppers.

As the tom neared the building, shapes became visible in the entrance. There were many cats inside, for this had come to be their home. When the tom entered into the stone walls, another cat looked up.

"What is it, Dusk?" She asked.

"I found something," Dusk panted. "Where is Thorn?"

"I'm right here."

A tabby emerged from the shadows. "What did you find, exactly?"

A smirk appeared on Dusk's face. "You'll never believe this..."

Dusk and Thorn went off to the far corner of the camp as to not be overheard, and the she-cat started to follow them, but Thorn shook his head. "It might be best for you not to hear this just yet, Lily."

As they headed back into the shadows, Lily couldn't help but be overwhelmed with excitement. Could this be what they had been looking for?
