About the Warriors series
Erin Hunter's Warriors is a massively popular middle-grade fantasy saga about wild cats living in clans in the forest. A young house cat leaves home to join the warrior Clans, navigating a world of loyalty, prophecy, territorial war and a complex spiritual code — all dramatised through the eyes of the cats themselves.
The series has inspired extraordinary devotion among young readers with its sprawling lore, large cast and surprisingly mature themes of duty, grief and destiny. "Erin Hunter" is a pen name shared by several authors, which has helped sustain its enormous output.
It's structured in arcs of (usually) six books; start with "Into the Wild," the first of the original arc, and read in order.
