** ''Code of the Clans'' also establishes that the rule about the deputy becoming leader upon the leader's death wasn't established until much later. In this novella, when Shadowstar appoints Raven Pelt her deputy, she suspects he'll be next to lead, and she dies knowing he will be. Though it also established the leader would choose one of their kin to succeed them, and Shadowstar has no kin in her Clan due to Sun Shadow's death, so in this particular case, the deputy may have been the next best choice.

%%%% Synopsis needed! %%%%
to:
Half a moon goes by, and she still has not decided who the new deputy should be. She can't stop thinking about how during the fight with the dogs, she saw amber eyes watching, and she fears that one of her Clanmates may have been watching, allowing her and Sun Shadow to die.
At the next Gathering, the other leaders wonder when Shadowstar will pick her next deputy, but she insists that she will when the time is right. Skystar talks about how there are even more Twolegs on his land than before, and the cats discuss what might happen if [=SkyClan=] loses its territory, but none are really willing to actually ''do'' anything. At the Gathering, Shadowstar realizes that many cats aside from her Clanmates have amber eyes - perhaps her mysterious enemy is from one of the other Clans.
She brings a patrol outside of [=ShadowClan=] territory to look for potential land for [=SkyClan=]. During this patrol, she scents an unknown cat and is pushed onto the Thunderpath (thankfully the monster goes ''over'' her, missing her), and then is attacked by the strange cat. It flees when her Clanmates show up, but Shadowstar suspects - and her Clanmates confirm - that her attempted murderer was Quick Water, her former Tribemate. They go to [=SkyClan=], and since Quick Water cannot explain herself, Skystar exiles her. Shadowstar finally decides upon a new deputy, Raven Pelt. Pebble Heart has a dream warning of trouble, and Shadowstar's afraid that all this isn't over yet.
The following day, she discovers that Thunderstar is sheltering Quick Water; he believes that Shadowstar had been mistaken due to the rain and Thunderpath scent. Shadowstar calls an emergency Gathering to discuss it, but most of the other Clans also believe that it was a mistake, and Skystar welcomes Quick Water back into his Clan. Windstar believes Shadowstar, however, and the two leaders come up with a plan to kill Quick Water.
Two days later, [=ShadowClan=] and [=WindClan=] meet up, ready for a fight. [=ThunderClan=] and [=SkyClan=] encounter them, Shadowstar goes for Quick Water, and the battle begins. Quick Water ends up landing a fatal blow on Shadowstar, and with the last of Shadowstar's strength, she does the same to Quick Water. Quick Water confesses that she was trying to help her Clan so that they could take [=ShadowClan=]'s territory, and she begs everyone for forgiveness.
Quick Water and Shadowstar wake up in [=StarClan=], and both Shadowstar and Sun Shadow forgive her there. They have a vision of the future, of [=SkyClan=]'s territory being destroyed generations onward, and Gray Wing reveals that the whole forest will be destroyed eventually. But all hope is not lost: the Clans find a new home by a lake, and [=SkyClan=] returns to them. Shadowstar is at peace, knowing that [=ShadowClan=] will survive and that her lives mattered.
