Fan favorite Ivypool takes center stage in Ivypool's Heart--a thrilling, super-long standalone adventure in Erin Hunter's #1 nationally bestselling Warriors series
It's been many moons since Ivypool lost her daughter, Bristlefrost, to the Dark Forest, yet Ivypool can't bear to move on. Even being named Deputy of ThunderClan feels meaningless in her grief.
When Whistlepaw has a disturbing vision--one that could spell disaster for all the Clans--a group of cats is selected to go on a quest to investigate. Ivypool is happy to join their mission. Perhaps being away from her daily responsibilities will help her escape the painful memory of Bristlefrost's death.
The cats set out on an arduous journey, facing everything from painful hunger to bloodthirsty dogs. But nothing can prepare them for what they find: a disgusting twoleg den that's caging a series of strange animals, including two who may have surprising ties to the Clans.
In order to complete their quest and right a terrible wrong that goes back generations, the five Clan cats must help these creatures find their true home. But first, Ivypool must let go of the past, and her grief, if she is to have any hope of ensuring a future for the Clans--and for herself.
I guess I'm weird, being my age, and my favorite books for quite a while now are the Warriors series, but that's the way it is. One of my favorite characters in all of it was Bristlefrost, and I was devastated her life ended the way it did. But the story of her mom Ivypool, and what eventually became her quest and what she discovered, and was eventually left with as her daughter's memory is as uplifting and powerful as anything I've ever come across in literature. And I've read all my life. For anyone who has followed the Warrior's arcs, this is an important novel in the Warriors universe, and helps one to arrive at a beautiful, peaceful, and acceptable place...applicable to fictional cats or your own real losses in life. Superb.
