The Sun Trail is a children's fantasy novel and the first book in Erin Hunter's Warriors: Dawn of the Clans series.

The novel centers on a group of feral cats living before the rise of the five Clans in the other main Warriors series.

The Sun Trail begins with a group of cats known as the Tribe of Rushing Water, led by Stoneteller, starving due to lack of food in their mountain home.

Gray Wing reluctantly agrees, saving Jagged Peak from an eagle attack before they catch up to Clear Sky's group.

Shortly after Bright Stream's death, the journeying cats leave their mountain territory and enter unfamiliar terrain.
