About the book: 2018 / The season of the Bare Trees is coming again, and with it cold and hunger come to the forest that has just recovered from the disease.

Clear Sky is now ready to accept any cat in his forest, Long Shadow chooses a pine forest without hesitation, Shivering River has long chosen the territory near the river, and for Windrunner there is nothing better than heather.

And there is less and less time left for this, because suspicious vagabonds from the former gang of the insidious One-Eye seem to be starting something again…
