[[AC:Summary of the manga at the end:]]

One day after Darktail's rogues fought [=RiverClan=], Berryheart barely survives Darktail's attempt to drown her. She tells a Clanmate where she's heading, and waits for her mate and kit. Eventually her mate Sparrowtail joins her and explains that their daughter Needletail's being held prisoner with no way to get her out; they'll be killed if they try. The two head out into Clanless territory. Toward the end of greenleaf, Berryheart's brother and sister, Cloverfoot and Sparrowtail, find them. They talk about the mistakes they've made and decide to trust in [=StarClan=] to guide them home.

''Tigerheart's Shadow'' is the tenth ''Warriors'' Super Edition, taking place during ''Darkest Night'', the fourth book of the sixth series, ''A Vision of Shadows''.

''Tigerheart's Shadow'' is the tenth ''Warriors'' Super Edition, taking place between ''Shattered Sky'' and ''Darkest Night'', the third and fourth books of the sixth series, ''A Vision of Shadows''.

The book itself opens an unspecified (but not long) amount of time after ''Shattered Sky'', the third book of ''A Vision of Shadows''. [=SkyClan=] has moved into the forest, establishing a territory in between [=ThunderClan=] and [=ShadowClan=] using land from both, though mostly from the latter. Twigpaw is mentioned to have joined [=SkyClan=] along with her father and sister, but is still in training since she's learning her new Clan's methods. [=ShadowClan=] is extremely weak; their numbers have dwindled, and the remaining cats have little confidence in each other and especially in their leader, Rowanstar.

He awakens in what he knows to be [=StarClan=]. He meets Spiresight there, who shows him the patrol carrying his body and tells him that it's not his time to die yet. Rowanstar – in [=StarClan=] himself – tells Tigerheart that there's one way a cat can be sent back, and Tigerheart realizes that it's through a leadership ceremony. He receives nine lives (though is told that he's already used one up due to the manner in which he's receiving them – much like what happened with the first leader, Windstar): Rowanstar (strength), Kinkfur (courage), Pinenose (compassion), Dawnpelt (hope), Yellowfang (forgiveness), Sagewhisker (persistence), Littlecloud (acceptance), Raggedstar (loyalty), and Flametail (love). [=StarClan=] gives him his new name, Tigerstar, which one can only assume will result in a lot of confusion in the future.

Over the next couple days, he tries to decide what to do. Willowshine visits and announces that she's had a vision that they need to find a six-toed cat to fend off "[[VaguenessIsComing the coming storm]]", and Puddleshine also reveals to Tigereart and Rowanstar that ''he'' had a vision: the sun – and therefore the shadows - gradually fading, and Tigerheart is convinced that it's about Rowanstar and the fate of [=ShadowClan=]. Ultimately he decides to go with Dovewing but gets delayed, and realizes that she's left without him – but then sees Puddleshine's vision himself, and decides he needs to stay for the sake of his Clan.

Tigerheart learns that Fog and her gang were driven out of their home by foxes (the very ones they'd driven away from the guardian cats, most likely) and figures that the best way to get her gang out of the guardian cats' fur is to drive the foxes away. He knows the guardians alone are not enough (Fog refuses to help) but gets the idea to lure them into the Twoleg traps that have recently been springing up around the city. With the help of one of Fog's cats, they are successful, and peace between the groups is established.

The kits grow enough to start becoming a pawful, trying to explore on their own. Spire has a vision about "shadows fading", and Shadowkit's had one about a cat that looks like Ivypool with kits, and Tigerheart and Dovewing decide to return to return to the Clans with their kits. Several of the Guardian cats come as well to join the Clans: Spire and his kit assistant Blaze, and two cats named Cinnamon and Ant. The station cat, Dash, helps them out of the city and into the wilderness. Spire has a vision along the way that they need to follow "the orange sun". He vanishes that night, and they find him by a building with a round orange circle on it, and find some [=ShadowClan=] warriors that had been missing since the fight with Darktail: Rippletail, Sparrowtail, Cloverfoot, and a very pregnant Berryheart. They had fought on Darktail's side and have come to regret it, and hope for forgiveness and to be able to return to their Clan.

[=StarClan=] gives him his new name, Tigerstar, which one can only assume will result in a lot of confusion in the future.

He awakens at the Moonpool with Puddleshine, who brings him to where the rest of his patrol and [=ShadowClan=] are waiting. Tigerstar gives a short speech and they cheer his new name. Tawnypelt tells him that he's missed a lot and that the days have been dark since he's left – with darker days to come. He assures her that they're ready to face them.

Along the way, he meets a trio of kittypets: one of them, Ajax, once lived in the Twolegplace Tigerheart is searching for. They tell him that the "Thundersnake" (train) will take him there, but he insists upon walking and following the Silverpath it travels upon. Along the way he finds a tuft of Dovewing's fur, so he knows he's going the right way. Due to hiding among luggage, however, he finds himself actually trapped ''on'' the Thundersnake, and it brings him into the Twolegplace.

Tigerheart, [=ShadowClan=]'s deputy, races through the forest to meet with Dovewing: during his time as a refugee in [=ThunderClan=], their former love had rekindled, and they've since been meeting in secret in [=SkyClan=]'s new territory. Dovewing reveals that she's expecting his kits, and that she'd had a dream that she's certain is a sign: the nursery is empty and shadows grow, and she wakes up filled with dread. She's also dreamed about a Twolegplace and a roof with sharp points, and is convinced that something will happen to their kits unless they leave the Clans and go there. Tigerheart doesn't want to leave, since his Clan leaves them, and tries to get her to stay, but she gives him an ultimatum: she is leaving in three days with or without him.

''Bramblestar's Storm'' is the tenth ''Warriors'' Super Edition, taking place between ''Shattered Sky'' and ''Darkest Night'', the third and fourth books of the sixth series, ''A Vision of Shadows''.
