| − | ==Detailed Plot Summary== |
||
| − | :[[Bluestar]] gives the two apprentices, [[Firepaw]] and [[Graypaw]], their warrior names, Fireheart and Graystripe. The book begins with the two new warriors finishing their nighttime vigil. Bluestar then assigns the two warriors with the task of bringing [[WindClan]] (who were forced out of their home by [[Brokenstar]], the former [[ShadowClan]] leader) back to their original home. They find WindClan far past Highstones and in a tunnel under a twist of Thunderpaths. They find the tunnel, and spot [[Twolegs]]. The two warriors run into WindClan, and convince them to come home. Fireheart brings [[Morningflower]], a WindClan queen, and her only kit, [[Gorsekit]], who later becomes Gorsepaw in [[The Darkest Hour]]. On their way back from their successful mission accompanied by a WindClan escort, they decided to take a short cut by the gorge in [[RiverClan]] territory. They were caught by a RiverClan patrol, which forces them into a fight. A ThunderClan patrol arrived to help their fellow Clan mates. Graystripe is engaged in battle with [[Whiteclaw]], a RiverClan warrior near the gorge. Graystripe nearly tumbled off the cliff, while his opponent Whiteclaw got the worst of it and fell into the roaring river below, drowning. Fireheart saved [[Sandpaw]] from falling off the cliff. |
||

| − | :Graystripe, Fireheart's best friend, fell into the river one day and almost drowned. [[Silverstream]], a RiverClan cat and daughter of [[Crookedstar]], saved his life. Later, Graystripe fell in love with the silver cat. Fireheart knew Graystripe was breaking every rule of the warrior code by falling in love with Silverstream, but he still covered for him. Fireheart tried to discourage them from seeing each other, but it didn't work. Graystripe finally says that he will only meet her at Gatherings, but later on in the book, Fireheart realizes Graystripe had been to see her secretly again. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :Fireheart also trains his apprentice, [[Cinderpaw]], and Graystripe's apprentice, [[Brackenpaw]]. But then Cinderpaw goes to get a message to [[Tigerclaw]] and is injured on the Thunderpath (a road [the "message" was supposed to kill Bluestar so he could become leader of ThunderClan]) A fight with WindClan against RiverClan and ShadowClan tests Fireheart's and Graystripe's loyalty to their Clan. Graystripe attacks only the ShadowClan warriors, and it is very clear that his loyalties have been divided. Silverstream attacks Fireheart thinking he is someone else. She lets him go when Graystripe cries "Silverstream! No!", but Fireheart instinctively pins her down afterward. He only lets her go when he sees a horrified-looking Graystripe. Unfortunately, Darkstripe sees him, and later tells Tigerclaw. At one point in the battle, Fireheart gets attacked by Leopardfur. Tigerclaw stood nearby, but did nothing except watch while Leopardfur prepares to kill Fireheart. Fireheart is certain now that Tigerclaw can never be trusted (with good reason to). |
||
| − | |||
| − | :Also, Fireheart is reunited with his sister, [[Princess]], a [[kittypet]] living in Twoleg place early in the book. After Cinderpaw is crippled by her Thunderpath accident, Princess gives Fireheart her oldest kit, [[Cloudkit]], to take into the Clan so that her brother can have another apprentice. Fireheart agrees to take the kit, but the rest of the Clan are reluctant to accept him because of his kittypet blood. The only cat to give Fireheart support is Graystripe, even though they didn't seem to be great friends at the time. Even so, Bluestar names Fireheart's nephew Cloudkit (without a naming ceremony) and allows him to stay, and [[Brindleface]] becomes his "foster mother." At the end of the book, Fireheart tells Graystripe that his relationship with Silverstream is his own thing to work out and that he won't try to interfere with it anymore, and their friendship seems to be back to normal again. |
