After a four series long storyline finally concluded with Omen of the Stars, it was time for a new era, or rather a old one to begin. Dawn of the Clans takes place right at the beginning when the Clans told about in the four previous series were founded.
For many moons, a tribe of cats have lived peacefully near the top of a mountain. But prey is scarce and season are harsh and their leader fears they will not survive. When a mysterious vision reveals a land filled with food and water, a group of brave young cats set off in search of a better home.
But great danger awaits them. In this unfamiliar world, faced with loners and fierce rogues all vying for territory and power, the travelling cats must find a new way to live side by side or risk tearing one another apart.
The mountain cats followed the sun trail to a new territory, convinced that in a land with more prey, their lives would be free from strife. But while no cat has gone hungry, tensions are rising and the once firmly united group has split in two.
Caught in the middle is a young cat named Thunder. Orphaned after his father, Clear Sky, rejected him, Thunder has thrived under Gray Wing's watchful eye. But Thunder cannot escape the memory or hurt of his father's rejection. When a devastating fire rips through the forest, Thunder's natural abilities are put to the test. Impressed, Clear Sky invites Thunder to join him. But allegiances borne over time can be stronger than blood ties, and Thunder is forced to decide if he is with his father or against him.
The rivalry between Gray Wing and Clear Sky has driven a dangerous wedge between the forest cats. Gray Wing still believes that there is a way for all the cats to live in peace. But Clear Sky, blinded by his desire for power and control, insists that lines must be drawn and territories divided. As they struggle to find a path for the future, more blood will be shed....

The other leaders are reluctant to risk helping Clear Sky, but as Slash's rogues grow more brazen and their attacks more vicious, all five groups will have to work together if their new way of life is to survive.
