Summary:

With the clans recovering from the great battle against Hailmist and his traitors and rogues, Birchheart, a newly appointed medicine cat in Snowclan, knows that everyone must do their part to help strengthen the shaken clans together. Yet when a deadly and unknown sickness quickly makes its way through Snowclan, swiftly doing its work and killing different cats, it's up to them alone to find the cure and save their clanmates.
