Yellowfang's Secret Summary


  • Yellowfang becomes a warrior, but after a battle with WindClan, she accepts her fate as a medicine cat
  • Yellowfang cannot battle because she feels the pain of other cats, so once one cat gets hurt, she gets hurt as well.
  • Once she becomes a medicine cat, Yellowfang learns to control her power to feel the pain of other cats.
  • Throughout the story, you see Yellowfang grow closer to Raggedpelt, and they plan to become leader and deputy together.
  • Yellowfang realizes she is going to have kits after she becomes a medicine cat. She receives a dream from StarClan saying that one of her kits, who should never have been born, will destroy the clan.
  • Yellowfang gives birth in the forest, and two of her kits die, leaving her with one son, Brokenkit.
  • Yellowfang takes on an apprentice, Runningpaw (who later becomes Runningnose).
  • Brokenkit quickly receives his warrior name, Brokentail, from his father, Raggedstar, and eventually the clan begins to respect him more than their leader after he becomes deputy.
  • Brokentail claims that Raggedstar was killed in a battle with WindClan which took all nine of his lives, making Brokentail leader of ShadowClan.
  • Before Raggedstar is killed, he and Yellowfang have the same dream of kits fighting one another and dying.
  • Yellowfang travels to the moonstone with Brokentail, and StarClan reluctantly gives him nine lives, giving him a warning with each one.
  • Brokenstar begins apprenticing kits when they are 3 moons old instead of 6, and most of them die in battle or in training.
  • Cats begin to visit Yellowfang every day due to wounds from hard training, and Brokenstar stops all hunting patrols, saying cats can hunt in their free time.
  • Brokenstar tells the elders they have to leave camp because they take up too much space and the clan "doesn't have time to feed them".
  • Yellowfang finds her sister's kits dead in the forest, killed by a fox, and Brokenstar blames her for their deaths, wanting her to be banished from the clan.
  • Yellowfang leaves, and the story ends with her finding Firepaw in ThunderClan.
  • There is a short manga excerpt in the end showing Yellowfang killing Brokenstar, her son, and then training Cinderpelt.
