River Of Fire - Summary

Here is the summary essay for the fourth book in the series A Vision Of Shadows, River Of Fire.

The main theme in River of Fire is loyalty.Who you are loyal to often influences the anger choices you make in life. You can also feel loyalty to more than one person or group, and this can create problems. Twigpaw believes she is loyal to SkyClan, where her kin are, but later realises she is more loyal to ThunderClan. Despite choosing to leave SkyClan however, she still feels a sense of loyalty towards them and can’t imagine fighting them. Finpaw leaves SkyClan to be with Twigpaw, because he feels most loyal to her. In this way, River of Fire displays and discusses loyalty, and its role in peoples lives.

The main characters in River of Fire include the two main protagonists whose point of view we see most of the world through, Twigbranch and Violetshine. The main antagonists in the book include Sleekwhisker, and RiverClan as a whole. The other antagonist in the book is an idea, rather than an actual character. As such, this list covers all the main characters in the story.

The main situations in the book are: Rowanstar gives up his nine lives. Twigpaw and Finpaw go to ThunderClan. Violetshine develops feelings for Tree. Two former ShadowClan cats return and ask to join ShyClan, but Leafstar refuses. StarClan says that ‘the shadows are approaching, and must not be dispelled’. Violetshine finds the two ShadowClan cats hiding in the old camp, and Leafstar lets them stay in SkyClan because of the new prophecy. Sleekwhisker kills Rowanclaw. A fire drives RiverClan to seek shelter in SkyClan’s territory. The other missing ShadowClan cats return, and, after Tigerstar becomes leader, ShadowClan reforms. These are all the main situations in River Of Fire.
