The Summary
When the forest bows down to one cat of greed, help will come on night's silent whiskers. ''For as long as any cat dared to remember, the four Clans (MountainClan, CinderClan, RootClan, and TwilightClan) have lived in uneasy harmony. When Beechlight learns of a prophecy that states that when the forest bows down to one cat of greed, help will come on night's silent whiskers, Rubblepaw is unsure who it means. Yes, she is silent in battle and in hunt, and yes, her fur is black, but could it really mean her? As the prophecy grows and she learns that she is the one, she realizes that there's nothing she can do except wait for another message. But will one ever come?''
