The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Warriors is Erin Hunter's long-running cat-clan fantasy franchise, represented in the current seeded database by the graphic novel adaptation of The Prophecies Begin. It follows house cat Rusty as he enters the world of ThunderClan and becomes Firepaw, discovering a forest society shaped by loyalty, rivalry, prophecy, territory, violence and survival. The graphic novel format makes the story more visually accessible than the prose saga, but the content is still not soft animal fiction: clan battles, deaths, injuries and animal peril are central to the appeal.
A dramatic cat-clan fantasy graphic novel sequence about loyalty, prophecy, battles and a house cat becoming a warrior.
