* {{Nepotism}}: Cats in [=RiverClan=] start expressing concerns about Frostpaw's suggestions for their new leader being based on who's related to her rather than by [=StarClan=]'s approval or proper merit, as Curlfeather and Owlnose are respectively her mother and uncle. Neither officially become leader; Curlfeather dies before receiving her extra lives, and Owlnose is so indecisive and uncertain that [=StarClan=] never gives him extra lives and he quickly steps down.

Six months have passed since the events of ''Literature/WarriorCatsAVisionOfShadows''. [=SkyClan=] has settled into the lake, though a terrible leaf-bare causes the Moonpool to be frozen over, and the medicine cats fear that they have lost their connection with [=StarClan=]. The series revolves around a young [=ThunderClan=] warrior named Bristlefrost, [=ShadowClan=] medicine cat apprentice Shadowsight, and [=SkyClan=] apprentice Rootpaw. As Bramblestar begins to act strangely after losing a life, the three young cats realize that they must come together to defeat a strange threat that the Clan has never seen before.

* AChildShallLeadThem: Downplayed. When all candidates for RiverClan's leadership suddenly die, Frostpaw, a ''very'' young medicine cat apprentice is appointed as RiverClan's leader. Downplayed in that this is a position she shares with her mentor Mothwing, and that Mothwing will be the one making more of the leadership choices due to her experience and age. Also worth mentioning that this is agreed to be a ''temporary'' decision until a suitable successor can be found.

* SuccessionCrisis: Both Mistystar ''and'' Reedwhisker, leader and deputy of RiverClan respectively, die suddenly in this book. With no obvious option to lead RiverClan, Mothwing briefly takes over as interim leader until one can be found. Frostpaw then receives a vision declaring Curlfeather as their next leader, but unfortunately Curlfeather is killed before she can receive her nine lives. After ''that'', the Clan is unsure who to pick, and collectively agree that for the time being, Mothwing and Frostpaw will be their leaders.
