Omen Of The Stars

The fourth series is titled Warriors: Omen of the Stars, and is a direct continuation of the previous series.^[9] Like the three series before, the series consists of six books. All six books have been published, entitled The Fourth Apprentice, Fading Echoes, Night Whispers, Sign of the Moon, The Forgotten Warrior, and The Last Hope.^[10]
In The Fourth Apprentice, Dovepaw finds out that she has a special power, which is to hear and see things that nobody else can. Dovepaw sees beavers building a beaver dam that is blocking the river upstream far away, causing the lake to dry up. When Dovepaw reveals this, Jayfeather and Lionblaze both realize that she is the third cat in the prophecy, as the beavers were in fact very far away. Firestar is told of Dovepaw's beaver idea, and he announces it at the Gathering (while not revealing that it was Dovepaw's idea). After a discussing it with the three other leaders, they decide to send a patrol with two cats from each Clan. The patrol goes upstream in an effort to restore the river flow and end the drought. While they are away Jayfeather is attacked at the Moonpool by Breezepelt of WindClan and a Dark Forest cat. He is rescued by Honeyfern (a StarClan warrior) who fights them off. Rippletail is killed when a beaver rips his shoulder during an attempted battle to kill them and destroy the dam. Lionblaze and Dovepaw recruit three kittypets to help destroy the dam. Just before the beavers return, and the dam is about to collapse, the water floods and destroys it. When Lionblaze and Dovepaw have returned, Poppyfrost gives birth to Molekit and Cherrykit. Jayfeather then tells Lionblaze that the Dark Forest is rising and Lionblaze confesses to once being trained by Tigerstar. Jayfeather then realises the Dark Forest is training cats to fight.
In Fading Echoes, Hawkfrost visits Ivypaw in a dream, pretending to be her friend. Jayfeather goes to the Dark Forest with Yellowfang and Spottedleaf, and discovers that the Dark Forest cats are doing battle training. Firestar admits to the three that he knows about the prophecy and is surprised to find they already knew. Ivypaw becomes envious of the attention that Dovepaw is receiving, and demands to know why she is hanging out with the older warriors and visiting Firestar often lately. Later on, a tree falls on the camp and ThunderClan manages to evacuate in time, thanks to Dovepaw's far-reaching senses. However, Longtail ends up dying. Briarlight goes after him and her backbone is broken, causing her to lose the ability to move her hind legs. The book ends in a battle between ShadowClan and ThunderClan, after Ivypaw claimed to receive a sign from StarClan (Hawkfrost). Russetfur, ShadowClan's deputy, is killed and Firestar loses a life. After the battle, Lionblaze and Jayfeather are sure that the battle should not have happened and suspect the Dark Forest caused it.
Night Whispers begins as StarClan are arguing about the battle with ThunderClan and ShadowClan. The book then continues with ShadowClan and ThunderClan going home after the battle. Lionblaze is guilty that he killed Russetfur trying to save Firestar. Further on, Ivypaw continues to meet with the Dark Forest in her dreams and eventually Jayfeather finds out. After he found out, he tells Lionblaze. Dovepaw overhears this. She confronts Lionblaze and Jayfeather and demands that they ask Ivypaw to stop, however Jayfeather thinks they should use Ivypaw to learn about how the Dark Forest warriors are training their recruits. Dovepaw gets angry when she hears this. Meanwhile, Lionblaze and Cinderheart are in love with each other. Later on, Dovepaw and Tigerheart fall in love and start meeting each other every night. Meanwhile, Dovepaw tries to convince Ivypaw not to go to the Dark Forest, but the young she-cat is as oblivious as ever to the dangers. Later on, Dovepaw's extreme senses let her patrol know that the camp is being attacked by a fox. No cat is badly injured, but Lionblaze begs Firestar to let him drive off the fox. Lionblaze manages to drive off the fox and with no injuries. Cinderheart is told about Lionblaze's prophecy, and becomes convinced Lionblaze is too good for her. Meanwhile, Ivypaw thinks that maybe the Dark Forest is a bit dangerous. When Dovepaw goes to meet Tigerheart one night, Ivypaw follows her sister. She confronts Dovepaw and Tigerheart, and when she failed to win over Dovepaw, she tried to convince her to stop seeing Tigerheart by telling Dovepaw that he was training in the Dark Forest as well. Dovepaw refuses to believe Ivypaw. They are interrupted by a ShadowClan patrol. Tigerheart shoves Dovepaw under some bracken, but Ivypaw got captured by the patrol. Ivypaw is later exchanged for catmint that Littlecloud, the medicine cat, needs. Dovepaw believes that Tigerheart used her on purpose to find the location of the herbs, and thinks that he never loved her. Ivypaw is getting nervous now as she goes into the Dark Forest, then finds out the truth: that Tigerstar is training her and the others to fight the Clans. She agrees to spy on the Dark Forest for Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovepaw. In ShadowClan territory, the lake has frozen over and Flametail plays games with his Clanmates. Unfortunately, the ice breaks and he is thrust under the water. Jayfeather tries to save him, but Rock appears and tells him to let Flametail die. That same night, Ivypaw returns to the Dark Forest in her dreams. Brokenstar finds her and says he will "test" her loyalty to the Dark Forest. He leads her to a clearing in the Dark Forest, where a confused Flametail is standing. Brokenstar commands Ivypaw to kill Flametail. Ivypaw refuses to kill Flametail, so Brokenstar threatened to take Dovepaw's life if Ivypaw did not do as he said. Having no choice, Ivypaw leaps on Flametail, but is stopped by Tigerheart. Tigerstar joins in, praising Tigerheart for his bravery and adding that Flametail only knew how to mix herbs, so his presence did not bother him. The novel ends with Tigerstar telling his companions he is confident Ivypaw will fight for the Dark Forest when the time comes.
In The Sign of the Moon, Ivypaw and Dovepaw get their warrior names of Ivypool and Dovewing. Jayfeather and Lionblaze find signs that indicate the possibility that Hollyleaf might not be dead, when a tunnel very close to the spot where rocks supposedly buried Hollyleaf (when Icecloud falls through the shallow roof of the tunnel) is discovered. At a Gathering, Dovewing searches for Tigerheart but denies loving him. Midway through the book, Jayfeather, Dovewing, Foxleap, and Squirrelflight visit the Tribe of Rushing Water when Jayfeather receives a dream from Rock, who insists he go to the mountains for a mysterious purpose. While there, Jayfeather is again sent into centuries before his own time, to convince the ancient Tribe ancestors to stay in the mountains, as they are weary and very close to returning to the lake (their previous home). Jayfeather (known as "Jay's Wing" in the ancient time he's visiting) succeeds in the mission Rock assigned him, and even completes the most important task of all: assigning the new Stoneteller of the Tribe in the ancient times, and in his own time. He appoints Half Moon as the Stoneteller of ancient times (who he has a brief relationship with, but as expected, it does not work out) and Crag Where Eagles Nest as the Stoneteller of modern times. While in his slight relationship with Half Moon, Jayfeather is tempted to never return to his own time and stay with her to become mates. Meanwhile Ivypool and Blossomfall go exploring in the cave (that Icecloud fell in) and get lost, but a mysterious cat leads them out after a scrawny ginger tom tells them to follow a path out. Meanwhile, Jayfeather is told a new prophecy: "The end of the stars draws near, Three must become four, to battle the darkness that last forever.
The Forgotten Warrior begins with Jayfeather waking up from a nightmare. He remembers that Lionblaze told him about how Briarlight snuck out with Bumblestripe and was almost eaten by dogs, Lionblaze saving them without getting hurt. Briarlight tells Jayfeather how she found a tuft of black fur in the back of the herb store, and Jayfeather recognizes it as Hollyleaf's. While Dovewing and Ivypool are on patrol, Dovewing fears that she lost her special power, being unable to hear, see, or smell farther than an ordinary cat. Birchfall reveals to Ivypool that he is training in the Dark Forest, to Ivypool's horror, though she hides it. On the way back, a WindClan patrol accuses them for washing their paws in the river, believing the river to be WindClan territory. Sorreltail stops them before there is a fight. When chasing a squirrel, Dovewing almost passes the ShadowClan border. Tigerheart spots her and tells Dovewing that his sister Dawnpelt wants to take revenge on ThunderClan because she suspects that Jayfeather killed her brother Flametail. Later, Molekit and Cherrykit become apprentices. Brackenfur tells the Clan that Sorreltail will be having kits. Dovewing confesses to Lionblaze that she is afraid that she had lost her powers. Lionblaze comforts her but he feels nervous. WindClan accuses ThunderClan of crossing the border. They deny it but WindClan is jumpy. Later, Molepaw and Cherrypaw enter camp with their mentors announcing that they were attacked by foxes. They tell them how a stranger scared the fox off before any serious injuries were inflicted. The rest of the Clan thinks that the new apprentices are making it up, but Jayfeather and Lionblaze thinks that it might be Hollyleaf. Lionblaze convinces Firestar to let him track down the stranger so he does. He discovers Sol and brings him back to camp. Bumblestripe is in love with Dovewing and the two go on a midnight walk. Her power finally comes back during this walk, much to Dovewing's delight. Afterward, her and Bumblestripe start getting closer to one another. In a dream, Yellowfang tells Jayfeather to tell Cinderheart about her past so she can help the Clan with her medicine cat abilities.. He refuses but tells Cinderheart later anyway. While on a walk, Dovewing and Ivypool go into the tunnels underground. They hear Sol discussing an attack on ThunderClan with WindClan. Dovewing and Ivypool are overheard by the cats and they try to escape. They find Hollyleaf and she helps them get out. Lionblaze sees her and brings her back to the Clan. Hollyleaf reveals that she killed Ashfur with Brambleclaw's support. Brambleclaw lies to the Clan, saying Ashfur's death was an accident. Hollyleaf also tells everyone that she saved the apprentices from the fox attack, not Sol. Everyone welcomes her except for only a few. Sorreltail goes on a walk and gives birth outside of the hollow and names her kits Lilykit and Seedkit. Cinderheart is now convinced that she should be a medicine cat, revealing to the Clan that she is Cinderpelt reborn. Yellowfang is mad at Jayfeather for telling Cinderheart her past, but Jayfeather tells her that it was not his idea. Yellowfang becomes nervous, saying she made a mistake about telling Cinderheart. Hollyleaf begins tunnel training to help with the fight with WindClan. Ivypool is still visiting the Dark Forest at nights. When she tells Brokenstar that she wants to teach the cats, he tells her to kill Antpelt again. Ivypool wins and kills Antpelt, who fades and disappears, showing how that the Dark Forest cats can be killed. In the end, ThunderClan wins the battle with WindClan by pushing them into the tunnels. After, Dovewing and Hollyleaf go back to ThunderClan.
In The Last Hope, Ivypool is training the apprentices of the Dark Forest, when Applefur appears with her apprentices, Blossomfall and Hollowflight, and states that the two want to battle Dark Forest warriors instead of apprentices. Tigerstar appears and states that the apprentices need to know each others' moves in case they need to fight alongside each other. He orders the apprentices to wake up back in their nests, because there is a private senior warrior meeting going on. Ivypool insists that she goes because she is a mentor, but Mapleshade dismisses this. Ivypool eavesdrops as Brokenstar explains the Dark Forest's master plan, using his claws to create a diagram. They agree to attack at the very heart of the Clan. After all of the cats leave, Ivypool sneaks forward to take a peek at the diagram, but is awakened by her sister, Dovewing. Jayfeather debates whether to go to the Moonpool or not, as he was asked to step down from being a medicine cat due to Dawnpelt's false accusations. Briarlight urges Jayfeather to go to the Moonpool, but he dismisses this. He heads out of the hollow, but realizes that Firestar is following him. Firestar speaks to him and he decides to go to the Moonpool. Yellowfang tells him he must tell Dovewing and Lionblaze about the prophecy. He asks her to talk to Flametail, but due to the boundaries in StarClan, she cannot help him. Later in his dream at the Moonpool, Brambleberry tells him that they must unite all the Clans together as one to fight the Dark Forest. After that, he has another dream, but this time, in the Dark Forest. Brokenstar appears and shows Jayfeather the training warriors and apprentices. Jayfeather is horrified as he realizes that so many cats are training from each Clan, secretly training at night while their Clanmates are sleeping. Before his dream ends, the Dark Forest warriors lunge at him and hit him as a wave. He then wakes up, blind again. He finds Mothwing at the Moonpool, and she asks if he is alright. Mothwing is aware that something is wrong with the Clans, and Jayfeather confirms this. He reveals all of the secrets to her about the Dark Forest, the final battle, and their own Clanmates training with the evil cats. Mothwing observes that many of her Clanmates act odd lately: restless and argumentative. Jayfeather tells her that her brother Hawkfrost is in the Dark Forest.
