by Erin Hunter
Bone died in the battle, too, killed by a swarm of apprentices after he took Whitestorm’s life. You would have fought alongside them, all three of you, if you had known that wise and gentle ThunderClan warrior.
Now, settle down and go to sleep, little ones. I’ll be here when you wake. I have enjoyed recalling old friends and past enemies. They all deserve to be remembered.

About the Author
ERIN HUNTER is the author of the bestselling Warriors series as well as a new fantasy series, Seekers. She is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. In addition to having great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior, shaped by her interest in astrology and standing stones.
