This graphic novel adaptation of the blockbuster, New York Times bestselling Warriors series covers the third and fourth novels of the second arc, The New Prophecy (Dawn and Starlight).

The young cats who set off on a quest many moons ago have returned with a chilling message: the Clans must leave the forest or risk extermination.

But the dangers waiting for them beyond their borders are impossible to predict, and as the warriors search for their new home, and a new connection to StarClan, they begin to realize that these challenges may not be as perilous as the threats they face from within.

This stunning, full-color graphic novel, adapted by Gibson Twist and illustrated by Sammy Savos, retells the third and fourth books in the second arc of the Warriors series.

Warriors Graphic Novel: The Prophecies Begin

The series

Full series details →

Beneath the forest canopy, where pawprints trace ancient paths and every whisper in the underbrush could be a warning—or a destiny—an untamed world pulses with tension, loyalty, and war. The Prophecies Begin, reimagined as a graphic novel series, plunges readers into the wild heart of the Warriors universe with a vivid immediacy that only ink and illustration can deliver.

Read full series description

This isn’t a tale of tame house cats. At the center is Rusty, a curious kittypet drawn beyond his garden fence by a pull he can’t explain—toward ThunderClan, and a life forged in the shadow of prophecy. What follows is a transformation, not just of a young cat stepping into the name Firepaw, but of an entire forest teetering on the edge of chaos. Through clan rivalries, ancient codes, and the weight of omens whispered by StarClan, the series explores power, trust, and what it truly means to lead.

The graphic format adds a new pulse to the storytelling—silent glances between warriors, the ripple of fur mid-battle, the eerie glow of moonlit prophecies—all captured in bold lines and shadowed color. It's a sensory dive into a complex world where the stakes are primal and the bonds are as fierce as the claws drawn in defense of them.

For longtime fans and newcomers alike, these adaptations breathe new life into a saga that has captivated millions. The tension is real. The choices are brutal. And beneath it all is a question every reader will carry with them: can destiny be outrun—or is it already written in the stars?
