Warriors: Power of Three #1: The Sight

There will be three, kin of your kin . . .

The wild cats have flourished in their new home on the banks of the lake for several seasons, and the Clans are growing strong and healthy with new kits. The time has come for three kits of ThunderClan to become apprentices.

Hollypaw, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw spring from a strong legacy: children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, two of the noblest ThunderClan warriors, and grandchildren of the great leader Firestar himself. All three young cats possess unusual power and talent and seem certain to provide strength to the Clan for the next generation.

But there are dark secrets around the three, and a mysterious prophecy hints at trouble to come. An undercurrent of rage is rising against those who are not Clanborn, and the warrior code is in danger of being washed away by a river of blood. All the young cats' strength will be needed if the Clans are to survive.

. . . who hold the power of the stars in their paws.

Warriors: Power of Three #2: Dark River

The three children of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, grandchildren of the great leader Firestar, have thrived in their apprenticeships: Lionpaw's strength and energy serve him well as a warrior in training, Hollypaw hones her understanding of the warrior code, and Jaypaw explores his mysterious powers and connection to StarClan as the medicine cat apprentice.

With more experience comes both power and danger: Lionpaw makes a friendship—and a discovery—that must be kept hidden; Jaypaw learns a secret that could benefit ThunderClan by damaging others; and Hollypaw knows something that could avert a battle, if she could convince the rest of her Clan.

The three are torn apart as each discovers darkness: in themselves, in the Clans, and in the past. And, as conflict begins over what it means to be a warrior, rising tensions threaten to overflow, washing away the peace that has existed for many moons.

Warriors: Power of Three #3: Outcast

There will be three,
Kin of you kin....
Who hold the
Power of the stars
In their paws.

A secret prophecy shapes the lives of Firestar's grandchildren, but only one of the three knows about it. Jaypaw is captivated by the power it promises, and he believes the key to that power may lie buried in the distant past -- with the ancient cats who once walked these woods and now prowl through his dreams. His search for answers leads him toward the mountains -- the home of the Tribe of Rushing Water. Lionpaw and Hollypaw feel drawn to the mountains too, for different reasons.

But the mountains hide secrets as well as answers, and if the three cats find a way to get there, they may discover more than they ever expected.

Customer Reviews

love Erin Hunter
I love all the warrior books. Recommend not only for kids/teens but for all the cat lovers out there.

Buy this box set - and then STOP and wait for the new series
The first three books in the Power of Three Series are as well-written as these books get. They are thrilling, suspenseful, and they offer much to discuss with your young reader. If you are inclined to talk about these things, they offer opportunities to explore religion, cultural differences, the deaths of loved ones, without the upset that inheres in similar books that have people as characters.

All three of the first installments of this series owe much to the Wrinkle in Time Quintet, with the most obvious parallels being to An Acceptable Time and A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Jaykit, one of the Three, strongly recalls Charles Wallace Murry, and Hollykit, at least in these three books, seems quite similar to both Meg Murry and her daughter Polly O'Keefe (in fact, if the Erin Hunter team had spent a bit more quality time with some of the Meg and Polly-centered books, they might have avoided some of my issues with the last three books in this series).

These books deftly lay out the bones of the long-arc story, a mystery regarding the three and their powers, while offering page-turning short-arcs that keep young readers (and this OLD one) turning the pages until the books are finished. The final three books of the series have serious issues with both plot and characterization. But, thanks to this box set, you can save some money and stop here and go directly into the next series, which, one hopes, will be better.

Too bad the Erin Hunter team did not do the same.

Great read
loved getting the first three books together. Can't wait for the next three to come out like this. These are very good books to read no matter what age you are. I find them to be quite enjoyable.
