After meeting Jay- their grandkit- Rainstone and Needlepine head to the Clans to reunite with their daughter, Scorch. With Raven tagging along. However, the peace and strong allegiance the Clans have had with each other since freeing themselves from tyranny has wilted and tensions have risen to a point where ignoring it is impossible. Will bonds be destroyed or cherished?

The mountains have remained motionless long enough. They rise to a time of turmoil and strife spurred on by dubious informants, renegade soldiers, ignorant fighters, and suicidal leaders. And into this perfect storm one strange cat bares her fangs and defies logic to make for herself a home for now and all time.

Out on the abandoned beaches dwells a family, a family with past, a family with history, with legacy. But not all of it is positive, and with the parents rooted in the sandy shores, how far will their young kit go to follow up the past? And what exactly is it that leads her forward? Sequel to ĻËĠÄĊŸ.

Is the Tribe the only group of cats in the mountain? No, there is another group far north. These cats have no connection with their ancestors and have slipped into an immorality so deep, their ancestors fear they will never recover. But one cat has had enough of this life, she is tired of being discriminated and used. And she wants a legacy that she can be proud of.
