The Stoneclaws won by a landslide. The alpha and beta male wolves were killed, along with almost half of Inaria's forces.
Desperate, widowed and with her young in peril, alpha female Whitewind's only hope is the Blackbloods: Huge, powerful wolves who used to guard Inaria before they were exiled because of a misunderstanding.

Not to be confused with BlackBlood, a trope about censoring blood, or BlackbloodBrothers.

'''This comic provides examples of:'''
* ActionGirl: Swiftkill and Bloodspill.
* AllThereInTheManual: There are some things in the character refs that have not been revealed in the comic yet, like [[spoiler:Bloodspill will have a child with Blade, for example.]]
* ArtEvolution: Just compare the old [[http://bbafr.deviantart.com/gallery/#Ancienne-Version version]] with the [[http://kayfedewa.deviantart.com/gallery/#Comic-Pages--2 new]]. (In French because I can't find it in English)
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Apparently, the wilds of prehistoric America were filled with bright red, yellow and orange dire wolves.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology:
** Most of the wolves have body proportions that look too thin for gray wolves, let alone dire wolves.
** Also, a real Saber-toothed cat probably would of broken its sabers off if it tried to use them the way the ones in the comic do, but that's just RuleOfCool in action.
** The Blackbloods being able to survive on bats in a oasis in the desert may qualify as this.
* BigNo: Swiftkill, once she realizes what she's done.
* BlackBlood: Averted, despite the name.
* {{Cameo}}: Some of the wolves in the background belong to other people, like the tan wolf with white legs and hair that appears in the background of [[http://kayfedewa.deviantart.com/#/dvpa2u this page]] and [[http://kayfedewa.deviantart.com/#/d1esvwl this page]] came from [[http://wotw-comic.deviantart.com/ this comic]]
* CartoonyTail: Of the common, taper off-to-a-point variety.
* CatsAreMean
* CirclingMonologue: Rapier does this to Swiftkill.
* DoubleEntendre: "Tseck out mer bats."
* DumbMuscle: Bloodspill is a rare female example.
* EveryoneIsRelated: The Blackblood wolves are a result of inbreeding. Also, Rapier is [[spoiler:the half-sister of Bloodspill and Swiftkill. Her son, Blade, has a child with Bloodspill]].
* TheExile: All of the blackbloods.
* FacialMarkings: Blackbloods have this. The amount indicates their rank.
* FollowTheLeader:
** Some people have accused Kayfedewa of ripping off ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}'' because her style is similar.
** Some have noticed that the plot resembles ''Disney/TheLionKing'': Evil relative wants to take over,[[spoiler:kills sibling(s)]] and tricks the hero's friends and family into thinking they are at fault. Hero leaves to lives in a oasis in the middle of a desert, surviving on small, unsustainable-in-real-life prey. The hero gets into a fight with one or more other characters from their home when he/she finds them and tells them their home is in danger. The character returns home without the hero. A different character tries to persuade main character to return.
** While there have been other animal comics before on and off of Deviantart, there has been a notable incline in their popularity and creation since Black-Blood Alliance started.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: The evil wolf is black and white with red eyes, however, this was supposed to be averted later with [[spoiler: Bloodspill's son,]] a mostly black, somewhat evil looking wolf with red eyes.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Swiftkill during "the Fury", see below.
* InfantImmortality: [[spoiler: Subverted.]]
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Rapier does this to Swiftkill.
* LicensedGame: Currently in development.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* MixAndMatchCritters: Subtle example: The moth in issue 2 is a mix of several different moth species.
* MookChivalry: The wolves with Rapier take Swiftkill on one by one, instead of doing the sensible thing and ganging up on her.
* ObviouslyEvil: Rapier.
* PantheraAwesome: The saber-toothed cats.
* ParentalAbandonment
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Rapier has these.
* SceneryPorn
* TakeAThirdOption: Played in a far darker way then usual. In an attempt to remove all her rivals for the Inarian throne, Rapier tries to kill her two younger siblings. They scatter in different directions, forcing Swiftkill to chose which pup to save. Swiftkill goes into [[UnstoppableRage "The Fury"]] and mauls Rapier, and for a moment it looks like she took a third option and saved both pups. [[spoiler:In her rage, she unintentionally killed BOTH pups herself.]]
* TalkingAnimal
* UnfortunateNames: It's hard for some people to read Rapier's name as anything other than rape-er.
* UnstoppableRage: "The Fury", an inherent flaw of the Blackbloods.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Rapier pulls one of these.
* YouNoTakeCandle: The birds. Strangely, Bloodspill starts speaking like that, too, when she is hunting lizards with Swiftkill.
