Hello there,
I first started writing the idea of SOTS in my mind years ago, but never brought it to the keyboard. Over those years, the story has progressed, forming it's own path in my imagination that sometimes left me daydreaming in class, and the occasional drooling on my math book. But despite it years it's end in the void of my mind, it has yet to be written in the language that all readers understand: interest.
I was always afraid to post it aloud, lest it turned into a failure, or, as we say on the forums, a "fail whale." But hopefully that nightmare is just that: a nightmare. When I first posted it, I was not intelligent on the true ways of writing a volume. So now I am re-writing what I have said before. Don't worry- the story is still the same. Just with a new flare.
Secrets of the Shadowslayer is a mystery tale; it tells of a new warrior name Darkheart, who lives in the creative HiddenClan. But his world turns upside down. Claws unsheathe and rumors spread that the Shadowslayer is back. Nobody knows who the Shadowslayer is, but they were possibly one of the most ruthless, most clever murderer in the entire forest. Cats are being killed left and right, sometimes a fox-length before their very eyes. As lives end and rival clan battles fought, it's up to Darkheart to uncover this mystery killer - before the forest is soaked in blood spilled by the Shadowslayer!

If Shadeforest is a leader, why doesn't she have -star in her name?
Definitely the question I get asked most. All will be revealed later in the series!
The warrior code says you do not need to kill to win battles, so why do HiddenClan warriors do it anyways?
On the contrary- they do not follow the Warrior Code. They follow something known as the Hidden Code. It is very similar to the Warrior Code and even has most of the same rules. However, killing cats in battle is allowed in this code. There are a few other things that the Hidden Code dropped.
Who is BrambleClan?
A clan that lives on the south border of HiddenClan. They follow the Warrior Code, not the Hidden Code.
Have a question? Feel free to ask!
