Summary: The past doesn't want to stay buried. Redfur of WindClan was murdered. Now he seeks revenge, willing to defy StarClan and even manipulate an apprentice to get it. After surviving a near fatal accident as a kit, Bravepaw wants nothing more than to be a medicine cat and help others. Then visions of a vengeful spirit and his grudge against her mentor Halfshine make her question StarClan's path for her. Bravepaw will soon realize no one has clean paws.
This story is set chronologically before all my other books and features Redfur and Harestar from Unknown Skies and Steps to the Stars. Ill Medicine can be read without background of the others, but if you want to see more of the characters, head on over.
You all know what this section is. Please use if you get confused in the middle of the story. Apt to change if I think of new cats as the story progresses.
