Super Edition: Firestar's Quest
"There is peace at last between the warrior Clans, and Firestar is proud of the strength and unity of the cats he leads in ThunderClan. All four forest Clans are thriving, training new warriors and keeping their boundaries without conflict.
But Firestar's dreams are haunted by wailing cats fleeing a terrible disaster. With unexpected help from an old kittypet friend, he discovers a shocking secret: StarClan, the warrior ancestors who guide his paw steps, have lied to him.
Firestar is faced with the hardest decision of his life. Can he really turn his back on the forest that has become his home and embark on a perilous quest to discover a dark truth—one that has been buried beyond the memory of living cats? Whatever he finds at the end of his journey, he knows that nothing can ever be the same again."

Super Edition: Bluestar's Prophecy
"Destined For Greatness...
Four Clans of wild cats have shared the forest for generations, thriving in their territories. But tensions are running high, and ThunderClan must assert its strength or risk falling prey to its power-hungry neighbors.
Into this time of uncertainty, a kit is born. A prophecy foretells that Bluekit will be as strong as fire, destined to blaze through the ranks of her Clan. But with this prophecy comes the foreshadowing of her destruction by the one enemy she cannot outrun.
As Bluekit gains power and eventually earns her leader name, Bluestar, she fights to protect her Clan. But secrets from the past threaten to surface - secrets that may destroy ThunderClan... and Bluestar."

The Lost Warrior Trilogy
The Lost Warrior series is a trilogy of manga taking place between Dawn and The Sight, and following the adventures of Graystripe, and his new friend Millie, as they try to find their way back to ThunderClan.
The Lost Warrior
In The Lost Warrior, Graystripe recaps the fact that he was abducted by Twolegs. He tries to escape multiple times, but fails each time, becoming lost, and once being beaten by a kittypet named Duke. But then, he meets Millie, a kittypet, who eventually leads him to the edge of the forest Graystripe calls home. Millie decides she can't leave her Twoleg, and Graystripe blindly tries to find his way home alone. He ends up in a pipe, starving, dehydrated, and hallucinating. Millie finds him, and nurses him back to health. The new couple then decides to set off for ThunderClan.
Warrior's Refuge
Warrior's Refuge begins with Graystripe recalling all that happened in The Lost Warrior. After heading towards Highstones, they find a corn field, and a monster. They run from the monster, and Millie cuts her eyes on the corn leaves, injuring her eyes. Graystripe guides her to a barn, where they meet a few cats. The cats reluctantly offer them shelter, and Graystripe and Millie stay until her eyes heal. The barn cats tell how they used to be owned by Twolegs, but they both died, and when the new Twolegs moved in, they brought dogs, and chased them into the barn, where they now reside. Millie and Graystripe soon see a Twoleg kit about to fall into the water, and Graystripe, in a moment of cuteness, draws the kit away from the water, and the adult Twolegs see this, and decide not to chase cats away anymore. Graystripe leads them to the barn, and the Twolegs see the kits, and befriend them. Graystripe and Millie leave the farm cats behind, and finally find ThunderClan camp. Or, what is left of it, anyway.
Warrior's Return
Warrior's Return details Graystripe's return to ThunderClan. Graystripe and Millie meet Ravenpaw and Barley, who point them in the right direction, and eventually find Smoky, Floss, and Daisy, who tell them that a large group of cats has been Gathering at the Island in the middle of the lake. Graystripe and Millie now finally find ThunderClan, and rejoin the Clan.
The Rise of Scourge
The Rise of Scourge follows Tiny, a kittypet, as he grows into one of the most fearsome enemies the forest has ever faced: Scourge.
