When a storm-tossed river sweeps Ripple away from the park he’s always known, he commits himself to the life of a peaceful loner. Still, as his new island home starts to become a sanctuary for other rogues, he can’t help but feel responsible for their safety, and for the community—and Clan—they are beginning to build. But when a friend from the park reappears with terrible news, the cat now known as Riverstar will have to decide which home he is truly committed to protecting: his new Clan or his old family.
