The book was published by Tokyopop on 23 March 2010 and drawn by James L. Barry under the pen name Erin Hunter.
Shortly afterwards, Firestar and Graystripe ask Barley for help finding BloodClan's home in the Twolegplace, so they can take the fight to them.
Barley goes with the rescue patrol, and when he sees Sorrelpaw's injuries, he makes up his mind to help ThunderClan.
When they arrive, they find all of BloodClan assembled below Ice and Snake, Barley and Violet's brothers.
Ice and Snake try to avoid punishment by claiming that they never did anything, and that the rest of BloodClan is at fault.
"Jolley does a fine job of capturing the essence of Erin Hunter's Warriors series and integrating the numerous Clans with their differing codes and loyalties into a tightly paced plot.
Readers unfamiliar with the earlier books can easily become immersed in the story, save for the slight confusion of Barley being the main focal point of the cover when Ravenpaw is the narrator.
Otherwise, sharply drawn feral and ferocious expressions heighten tension whenever there is a standoff and add a proper dose of frenzy to the action scenes.
The black-and-white drawings may have some children lamenting the chance to see the colors of the gloriously described cat fur, but ultimately it won't matter with Warriors fans clamoring for anything related to the series."
