[edit] Summary

In the introductory chapter, "Three Lost Travelers", Mosskit(from ThunderClan), Adderkit(from WindClan) and Blossomkit (from ShadowClan) have somehow walked from StarClan to Rock's home under the earth. Rock tells the kits that they did not live long enough to learn about their Clanmates. He says he will answer their questions "about the cats you left behind." Rock describes himself as "the keeper of the world beneath the one your former Clanmates walk. The watcher for moons than you can dream of, and the seer of all moons to come."
The remainder of the book consists of Rock's stories about each Clan, and various cats (or a group of cats) within the Clan. Rock describes major events in the cat's life, and often comments on why the cat is special or acted as he/she did.
