Set one moon after the defeat of Slash, the story centers on Moth Flight, the first medicine cat of the Clans. Haunted by strange dreams and visions, Moth Flight often has her head in the clouds, much to the displeasure of her mother, Wind Runner. After her easily distracted nature nearly causes the death of her father, Moth Flight gives up on trying to please her mother and leaves her Clan. However, on her journey, Moth Flight ends up discovering the Moonstone, a mythical rock which allows the living and the dead to communicate. Beneath the light of the moon, the spirits of her fallen kin visit Moth Flight, revealing that she has a greater destiny than any cat could have expected.

The novel was released on November 3, 2015. It was written by Kate Cary.

!!This novel contains examples of:
* ADayInTheLimelight: For Moth Flight, who was a minor character in ''Dawn of the Clans'', but became the main character in this book.
* AscendedExtra: Several characters from ''Dawn of the Clans'' are much more prominent in this book than they were in the fifth arc.
** The book's villain, [[spoiler:Willow Tail]], was initially a minor character in ''Dawn of the Clans''.
** Acorn Fur is much more important here, since she [[spoiler:becomes [=SkyClan=]'s medicine cat.]]
* BloodFromTheMouth: Redcough, a version of green/whitecough that causes cats to cough up blood, is mentioned. At first, [[spoiler:Rocky gets it]], and near the ending [[spoiler:Slate gets it too, and needs Moth Flight to get the cure for her.]]
* TheBusCameBack:
** Swift briefly returns after not being seen since ''The First Battle'', and is revealed to be a member of [=RiverClan=] now.
** Dew is back after her inexplicable absence in ''Path of Stars'', in as good a shape as ever.
** [[spoiler:Branch, last seen during Wind Runner's bonus scene, returns to give her a life.]]
* DistantFinale: The book ends with one for ''Dawn of the Clans'' as a whole. [[spoiler:The manga at the end shows us Moth Flight dying of old age years into the future.]]
* DreamingOfThingsToCome:
** Moth Flight occasionally has dreams of scenes from the first arc (and one from ''Firestar's Quest''), usually related to the nine lives leaders have.
** Micah has dreams about Moth Flight before meeting her. He also dreams about [[spoiler:his future as [=SkyClan=]'s first medicine cat.]]
* OutOfFocus: Several major characters from ''Dawn of the Clans'' do much less in this book. Lightning Tail only appears for a single page, for one.
* {{Retcon}}:
** In both ''Secrets of the Clans'' and ''The Ultimate Guide'', Wind Runner exiles Moth Flight from [=WindClan=]. In this book, Moth Flight's exile is self imposed.
** One of the retcons in the book is a reverse retcon. [[spoiler:In ''Secrets of the Clans'', the Clan Founders are stated to have had the star names that leaders usually get, but ''Code of the Clans'' changed it, saying that the founders didn't take star names because the tradition hadn't been established yet. In this book, it turns out that the founders had star names after all, although it was a fair bit after the establishment of the Clans that they got them.]]
