Civil War

Civil War is the first book in the fanfiction series Stream Falling by Wavepaw.

Synopsis
Many moons ago, the leader of ShadowClan, Stormstar, made the shocking decision not to attack ThunderClan after prey was stolen. It caused huge uproar in ShadowClan. But now things have calmed down. That is, until the deputy of ShadowClan is found dead and the ambitious, bloodthirsty new deputy of WindClan re-ignites the old scandal with shocking new evidence. Suddenly Icedapple, the new deputy, and her ambitious sister Silvermist find themselves leading the opposing sides of ShadowClan's civil war - and neither will dare back down.

Crystalheart is a young new warrior of ShadowClan when the civil war ignites. Suddenly, the prideful warrior finds herself loyally supporting Stormstar and Icedapple, but the latest target of Silvermist's recruitment. Can she outlast her ambitious aunt and support her leader? Or will young Crystalheart be swayed by the lies on each side?

Flamesky sees sense in Silvermist. He loves ShadowClan, but why should they have a leader and deputy who make bad choices? His spot in the new and improved ShadowClan seems secure - but Silvermist keeps him in the dark. How hard will he have to work for her respect? Is it even worth fighting for?

Coppershine's brother is in love with Silvermist. Flamesky will do anything for her, but she never repays him. Furious with Silvermist but with Stormstar as well, Coppershine must fight hard to remain neutral as each side gets more and more desperate and willing to do horrible things for what they want. When Silvermist threatens to hurt Flamesky, Coppershine faces a terrible choice. Is her fight for neutrality worth jeopardizing her beloved brother's safety? But is Flamesky's safety worth that of ShadowClan?

Pebblepaw is scared. He's Silvermist's son, but he doesn't agree with her. He saw her hurt Kestrelsong after she refused to join her side. Will the same be in store for him? What about after he teams up with Icedapple's daughter Skykit to bring ShadowClan back together? At first, all Pebblepaw wants is to protect himself. But when Skykit's brother Ravenkit is found dead, even Pebblepaw knows his mother and her minions are to blame. And Skykit is next. Can he protect his little friend from his mother's wrath? And how can an apprentice and a kit save ShadowClan?

But can they really save it? Or will they scar the Clans forever?
