Author's Note: This isn't actually one book, because they're too short, so I wrote it on the series.
All of the life you've ever known, you've lived in the forest. Happy, with your friends, and life is great. Until one day, two-legs come and take all of your clanmates. Big machines take over, and you have no clue what's going on. So much has happened, and after losing your best friend in a forest fire, the fact that he was losing everyone else did not help. All you care about is the lives of others, so you jump onto the truck and release everybody, except for one. As you attempt to pry open the lock, the van starts to accelerate. You free your clanmate, but before you get the chance to make an escape, both of the doors slam shut and there's no way out. This is from the view of Graystripe, one of the many cats whose home was taken away from them.
While in the van, Graystripe passed out. When he woke up, he was in a strange place he had not yet seen in his 9 lives. There were no trees, and it had a different aroma. Still in shock, he ran into a wall, waking himself up. He looked around, and observed that he wasn't dreaming. He jumped up onto a window sill, and looked out. It was cold and wet out there, yet warm in dry inside. He was happy to have shelter, but he would give anything to see his family and friends again. The very next day, when it was sunny, he decided to step outside and try to escape. There were too many loud noises, and none that he recognized. He ran back inside, as his first plan had failed.
The next time he tried , he hopped a fence into the home of one angry cat. His name was Duke. He tried to kill Graystripe for entering his territory, only Graystripe got away. On his walk home, he met Mille. She showed him the way to the house, instead of towards the forest. Graystripe seemed to like her. When they met up again, Mille showed Graystripe a small area of woods, and he was so excited. They went there everyday from then on, and Graystripe taught Mille how to do everything a clan cat would. To fight, hunt, and to survive. After a few more days of events and decisions, they decide to go on the perilous journey back to Graystripe's original home.
After a day or two, they slip off the road into a cornfield, where they accidentally take separate paths. Graystripe sprints to find someone to help, and walks into a barn, where he finds some cats to assist him. When they find Mille, they find out that she managed to scratch her eyes to the point where she desperately needed help. They go back to the barn, and she is taken care of, and for lack of the ability to travel, they spend the night. They spend a few days there, and end up helping the cats there a great deal. The decide to move on, only to find disappointment and great tragedy.
As Mille and Graystripe approach a once gorgeous place, Graystripe he heartbroken. All the trees were demolished, and the river had mostly evaporated. None of the other cats from any of the four clans remained, and there was nothing Graystripe could do. They spent the night in the only place that stayed standing, which was the medicine shelter. The next morning, Mille cheered up Graystripe, and motivated him to continue on their journey, and remind him that only the place was destroyed, not all of his friends. He agreed to continue and they moved on. They approached a different barn, where some of his old friends were settled. They pointed them in the direction of which they had seen the clans moving. They set off towards that direction, and soon, they find that they're very, very hungry.
They reach a gas station, and they search there. They soon get into a huge fight, and while Graystripe storms off, Mille watches helplessly as he gets hit by a car. His shoulder is in a great deal of pain, and he has to be taken care of by Mille and the cat who lives there, who's name is Diesel. He helps them get back on their feet. There is when Graystripe realizes how he feels about Mille, but cannot find the fight time to tell her. As they leave to move on, he can't stop thinking about it.
They end up at the beach, and they look around for possibilities of where they could've gone from there. A forested area is spotted, and that's the direction they head towards. They fun through the forest for a little while, until they run into a rogue. They ask if he's seen a large group of cats, and he is pointed in a certain direction. Standing at the top of a hill in the moonlight, they stare down at an island with moving objects on it. Graystripe was so overjoyed that he found his family. It was right then and there that he asked Mille to be his mate. She accepted, and both extremely happy, they walk down onto the island to be greeted by all of his long-lost friends. Life could not possibly be better than this!
