What’s it about?

The story.

The wild cats of the Clans have lived and hunted in their forest for generations, but strange signs warn that the peace is ending. When a mysterious prophecy calls a handful of young warriors to an unknown destiny, they must set out beyond everything they know to save their families from a gathering threat. This graphic-novel adaptation opens the New Prophecy arc of Erin Hunter's bestselling Warriors saga, condensing the first novels of the sequence into a fast, atmospheric visual story. Adapted by Gibson Twist and richly illustrated in full colour by Sammy Savos, it delivers the Clan politics, loyalty tests and life-or-death peril that have made the series a phenomenon, in a format built to pull new readers in and reward devoted fans. A dramatic entry point to the next chapter of the warrior cats' world.
