Danger Awakens

Danger Awakens is the first book in the first series, The Shadow Prophecy. This book is seen through Swiftpaw and Ferretpaw. The book ends right before Swiftpaw and Ferretpaw become warriors in The Second Star. Four cats are chosen for a prophecy to find Appledapple, the spotted she-cat with mind-reading powers, and bring her to the clans to lead them through the coming leaf-bare. Appledapple predicts that it will be a hard winter with blizzards and scarce prey. She says this just before Deerstar starts Swiftpaw and Ferretpaw's warrior ceremony and the book ends.
