If you love the Warrior Cats series and want a sneak peek at how it all started, Dawn of the Clans, the prequel series, is the best place to go. These books explore how the five main clans of cats formed, starting from the cats that moved to the forest, where living conditions were much better than up in the mountain, to create the ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, SkyClan and ShadowClan.
Written by several authors under the pseudonym of Erin Hunter, there are over 40 Warrior Cats books in the universe. Warriors began with The Prophecies Begin series which follows the adventures of the ThunderClan as epic battles for territory and honour are played out amongst the wild cats.
There are six books in the original The Prophecies Begin series, but the cats’ adventures continue in the other Warriors sub-series (see all Warriors series in order below).
Fans can also enjoy Warrior cats games, quizzes and more on the website, as well as a Warrior Cats’ clans family tree (warning: contains spoilers!).
