New ebook

"Warriors Digital Original Novella"

Kate Cary posted on her facebook page a link here. It's unknown what it is, it doesnt even have a title, but it is released September 11, 2012 and will cost $2.99 in the US. It is most likely another short story ebook like Hollyleaf's Story.

Theories about the title The Sun Trail

• Has to do with StarClan and "following the sun"
• Did StarClan come before the clans, or did the clans come before StarClan?
• Cats led to the forest by the setting sun

Rumors

• Midnight the badger originally starts out as a villain
• The book will start off right after the clans are created
• SkyClan will be featured in the series and the territory map will be different

Words from the Writers...

Here are a few this Kate and Vicky have said about The Sun Trail, enjoy!

To summarize:

• cats will NOT have special powers
• there will be POVs from cats other than ThunderClan
• It is NOT confirmed that the prologue will be about LionxCinder's kits

Yellowfang's Secret Plot

There's currently no new news about Dawn of the Clans, but I did find some new info on Erin's next super edition that is scheduled to be released this fall.

"Yellowfang has dedicated her life to ShadowClan. She is a loyal medicine cat, ready and willing to do anything to protect her Clanmates and keep them safe. But a dark secret haunts her, threatening her life and the lives of every cat around her..."


This is talking about her kits with Raggedstar and how she must keep it a secret, otherwise she will be banished. She gives birth to 3 kits-two unnamed she-kits that die, and Brokenkit (Brokenstar).

• Kate Cary has announced she will not be writing this super edition
• Vicky said on her facebook page that Yellowfang's secret will be "very emotional"

Random fact: All the main cats in the super editions have mothers who's name ends in "flower" Bluestar-Moonflower, Crookedstar-Moonflower, Yellowfan-Brightflower

DOTC Dates & More

I don't think these are all 100% confirmed, but it's better than nothing. Enjoy.

"Dawn of the Clans is the fifth arc of the popular Warrior Cats series, after the Omen of the Stars arc. Set to release in April 2013, it tells the tale of the beginnings of the Warrior Clans, when the Warrior Code was unmade, and the Clan founders still ruled.


The first book, titled The Sun Trail, has been announced to feature point of views outside of the main Clan, ThunderClan. Little is known about the series so far, but updates will be forthcoming.


A Day in the Limelight: This is the first time in the main series that the other Clans will have a role equal to ThunderClan.


Distant Prologue: Potentially inverted, if the authors go through with their idea for the prologue (see Framing Device): the prologue will be set more than fifty years after the events of the series.


Framing Device: The authors are considering having the prologue show the kits of Lionblaze and Cinderheart asking the elders for a story about the Dawn of the Clans.


Fully Absorbed Finale: The proposed prologue of The Sun Trail (and possibly other prologues/epilogues) will serve as the final send-off to the characters of the Omen Of The Stars time period."


To summarize:
DOTC is coming out spring 2013, and the first book may be titled The Sun Trail. Lion and Cinder's kits will be in the prologue, and the 5 clans will each have a POV.
