The first book of A Starless Clan (Arc 8) will be called River! Chat away with your theories and predictions!

Blurb of River:
A dark age has given way to an era of peace in the five warrior Clans, and with it comes a promise of hope. As their leaders deliberate on unprecedented changes to the warrior code, three young warriors set their paws on the paths that will decide their futures.
In ThunderClan, warrior apprentice Flamepaw, a descendant of the legendary leader Firestar, struggles under the weight of his famous kin’s legacy, while young ShadowClan warrior Sunbeam has doubts of her own. But in RiverClan, medicine cat apprentice Frostpaw looks eagerly toward the horizon, awaiting the day she will be called upon to help her Clan—a day that may dawn sooner than she ever dreamed.
What if Sleekwhisker comes back?
Gosh, I hope she does.
This series doesn’t need more outside threats. The plot is about the warrior code so it should be about the warrior clans. And the brought back an old villain for last arc, and they probably won’t do it again
Well, Sleekwhisker technically started as an inside threat…
true, but in this series she would be an outside threat since she is no longer part of a clan
Theory: After Mistystar and Reedwhisker mysteriously die, It’s in the hands (or paws)of Frostpaw to choose the next leader. But did she really choose the right cat? The cat she choose had been nice to her for a while after the deaths of Reedwhisker and Mistystar. And without the current guidance of starclan, she might never know.
If the theory about Duskfur and Reedwhisker being mates is true, that means that Frostpaw is descended from Appledusk through her mother, Curlfeather.
….And she’s a medicine cat apprentice, so it’d be completely normal for her to have strange dreams.
:0
Frostpaw will be a medicine cat apprentice forever in the shadow of Willowshine….
willowshine is dead
Exactly. She’ll always have the feeling that she’ll never be as good as she was. Kind of like how I imagine Puddleshine and Flametail.
Yay! Can’t wait for this book to come out! 😀
Hope Harestar doesn’t die, he’s a great cat (my headcanon is that he was just following Ashfur because he was very afraid of what would happen if the Dark Forest wouldn’t come back). And honestly, Crowfeather is too old for being leader – he’s older than Harestar and has greatgrandchildren. (Yeah, I know there are very many cats being to old.)
I hope Whistlepaw is good, we need a medicine cat after Kestrelflight.
Who I want leader:
Kinda hoping for Brindlestar (Brindlewing) but I’d love also Hootstar or somebody of Gorsetail’s family.
ThunderClan: No Lionstar. He just isn’t a good leader. My favourite maybe-ThunderClan-leader, Leafshade, isn’t going to make it after Spotfur’s Rebellion. So maybe Thriftstar? (Honestly, Bristlestar is overrated. Thriftear is a better cat.)
For SkyClan…. Hawkstar would be okay. Sadly, Firefern died, I liked her. Needlestar. She’s the second-greatest cat ever (first is Cloudpelt). She would be a far better protagonist for TBC. No discussions there.
RiverClan…. Puh, that’s hard. Nightsky maybe? Anyways, Mothwing, Mistystar and Reedwhisker should die.
ShadowClan: Honestly, Tigerstar isn’t a very good leader. He was overprotective to Shadowsight and just overreacting. We definetly need more Pouncestep. And I’d wish we would get less ShadowClan, since OotS there is always at least one ShadowClan-character.
But I like Cinnamontail and Blazefire (Antfur’s death was the best written scene in The Silent Thaw.)
I’m hoping for Cloverstar.
Windclan: Fernstar(was crowfeather’s apprentice, so maybe)
Thunderclan: Squirrelflight is old 🙁 Ivystar, Poppystar or Twigstar for me
Skyclan: Hawkstar
Riverclan: Icestar or Minnowstar
Shadowclan: Cloverstar, Dovestar(If Ivystar happens absolutely), or Sunstar(if her character arc goes that direction.)
here are my hopes for leader:
TC – Lionstar, Flipstar, Spotstar, or Twigstar
WC – Harestar is fine for now
RC – Icestar
ShC – Cloverstar
SkC – Leafstar, Hawkstar
I hope they mysteriously kill of Reedwhisker and Mistystar
And Evil Whistlepaw would be cool
WindClan: Keep Harestar
ThunderClan: Ivystar, Lilystar or Spotstar
SkyClan: Hawkstar
RiverClan: Curlstar or Minnowstar
ShadowClan: Cloverstar or Blazestar
for Lilystar u mean Lilyheart becomes lilystar, right? because if so, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U MY FAV WARRIOR CAT YES
I wonder if Sunbeam will be anything like her older sister, Needletail? (I hope so… I LOVE NEEDLE!)
I hope so too! I hope Needletail is mentioned!
That be epic, I hope she’s like her in spirit but also a little more mature now that she’s a warrior
I wonder if Needletail, as Sunbeam’s older sister, will be mentioned. Something like “The ghost of the older sister she had never known seemed to haunt her parents like a constant shadow.”
Or something like that.
Although they’re ShadowClan, so shadows would actually be good, right?
Or maybe this:
“The black-and-white she-cat stared at her as though seeing a ghost. Sunbeam’s fur prickled uncomfortably.
“Sorry I almost bumped into you,” she mewed quickly, hoping that the SkyClan cat would go away from the border.
The other cat shook her head suddenly, as though trying to focus. “No, I’m sorry,” she said. “It’s just-you look just like your sister.”
I don’t have a sister, Sunbeam thought, confused.
Then she thought, Oh. That sister.
What does Sunbeam look like, anyway?
You are an amazing writer and I hope that happens!
Thanks! Me too!
She’s a brown and white tabby I believe!
So much for looking just like the silver Needletail. Oh well.
Is this true what I’m hearing? ASC #2 is titled Red Mist? RED MIST? Kate, can you confirm?
I’ve just finished writing the second instalment but I din’t know what the official title will be. The ed team decide and I suspect they keep it from me so I can’t blurt it out to BlogClan 😜
Okay, thanks! Can’t wait to read A Starless Clan #2! 🙂
will the series titles go: River, Wind, Thunder, Sky, Shadow, and Star? (or something in that order, but still ending in star
W.A.S!
Will arc 8 be the last arc of Warriors?
I’ve not heard if it’s the last. I suspect we’ll happily keep on writing as long as we have readers happily reading!
I hope this is the last I am sick and tired of waiting for the books at this point. I just want to be free of this series. Plus we I go into a group home nobody will be able to drive me to get books anymore since I can’t drive. I honestly can’t wait for this series to end
Hi Ivory. You’re allowed to stop reading the series if you’re tired of it. Nobody is forcing you to keep reading the new books and nobody is going to blame you for not reading things. There are plenty of other books in the library, and the Erin team is not beholden to your wishes and your wishes alone.
Every new book released I dread greystripes death
I also dread jay feathers death.
It’s terrible.
So with leopardstars new book out and with how the manga went about how leopardstars was meant to choose the leader that saves river clan I will say that mistystar is going to have a big role to play in this upcoming ark.
I honestly didnt know this came out lol, also can you write about some cat having to retire because of dementia or alzheimer’s that would be an interesting story
It hasn’t came out yet! Not until April 5th, 2022.
This is my theory for the title order for this arc:
1 is River, as confirmed
2 is Shadow
3 is Sky
4 is Thunder
5 is Wind
6 is Star
This is all a theory and one based off of the order of the Clan symbols in the A Starless Clan image
