About this book

Explore the secrets of the Bamboo Kingdom in the fifth installment of this thrilling new series from bestselling Warriors author Erin Hunter, perfect for fans of the Wings of Fire and Endling series. The three Dragon Speakers must face their own troubles before they can help the Bamboo Kingdom regain peace. After being forced out of Rain’s camp for a murder he did not commit, Ghost is still determined to prove his innocence.

And though Rain isn’t convinced Ghost is guilty, she knows that if it wasn’t him, that means the killer is still at large—and still targeting her loved ones. As Ghost sets out to reunite both of his families, Leaf is nowhere to be found, and the monkeys are watching their every move. With only piecemeal guidance from a Great Dragon that’s been split in three, how can they hope to stop what Brawnshanks is planning?
