Skyclan's Destiny by Erin Hunter
4.0
SkyClan's Destiny follows on from Firestar's Quest, another Warriors Super Edition. Note: You have to read Firestar's Quest first or it will not make sense.
The Clan's leader, Leafstar, is trying to keep her Clan strong and united as well as trying to recruit new members from the Twolegplace nearby and other loners. When she accepts 'daylight-warriors' into the Clan, (cats who sleep in the Twolegplace at night and stay with the Clan during the day), the cats of SkyClan are divided on this decision. Leafstar believes that her Clan should not turn down any cat while her deputy Sharpclaw believes that they are still kittypets at heart and will never truly belong in the Clan.
As Leafstar gets a prophecy from StarClan telling her the Clan needs deeper roots, she starts to worry that this split in the Clan could lead to the demise of the new SkyClan. All of a sudden, four strange cats come to the Clan, claiming their interest in learning the ways of the Clan. Their names are Shorty, Stick, Coal and Cora.
Later, though, it is revealed they have no intentions in joining the Clan for good. A cat named Dodge and his friends Misha and Harley, along with a band of loners and Stick's daughter Red, have been driving cats out of their own hunting grounds and framing them for the loss of Twoleg pets. Stick wants the Clan to help them drive out Dodge's cats but doesn't want to hurt his daughter in the process.
The Clan cats agree after receiving an omen from StarClan and it is soon revealed that Stick wants more than to drive the cats out. He wants them dead, and he wants to start with Dodge. He believes that Dodge's friend Harley is responsible for Red leaving her father and that he is lying to her and he doesn't love her.
In his rage, Stick slits Red's throat before he thought about what he was doing and nothing could be done to safe her. The Clan cats then left to go back to their home and Stick and his friends could go back to theirs too.
This book is good if you like the Warriors series (it won't make much sense otherwise) and lets you see the progress of SkyClan and its new leader that you don't see in the other books in the series as they focus mainly on the Clans in the forest.
It doesn't matter when you read Firestar's Quest or SkyClan's Destiny in relation to the series as they are freestanding but I would recommend to read them after the first series as you learn about Firestar and you don't ruin some surprises from throughout the series.
