Warriors Book Series - Overview

Warriors is a series of children's fantasy novels published by HarperCollins. Though the books are published under the pseudonym of Erin Hunter, writing alternates between authors Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, and the newly-recruited Tui Sutherland, with plot ideas by storyline editor Victoria Holmes.[1] The series follows the adventures of four clans (ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan and RiverClan) of wild cats trying to survive in their forest homes. It currently consists of three miniseries, with a fourth announced, each containing six books. The first, Warriors, was published in 2003–2004, beginning with Into the Wild, and was followed by Warriors: The New Prophecy, published 2005–2006. The third, Warriors: Power of Three, has been underway since April 2007 and its fifth book, Long Shadows, was released on November 25, 2008. The final book of this miniseries, Sunrise, will be released April 21, 2009.

Other books have been released to supplement the main series, including a lengthier, individual book, titled Firestar's Quest, two field guides, and several volumes of original English-language manga, produced as a collaboration between HarperCollins. The series has also been released for the Amazon Kindle and translated into several languages.
