Welcome to the official Shaded Secrets Blog!

 

    Hello, reader, and welcome to the very first Shaded Secrets blog post! I'll be using this to explain the purpose of this site. For anyone who isn't already familiar with the Shaded Secrets series, here's a brief [emphasis on brief] overview of the books.

    Shaded Secrets is a cat-centric adventure/mystery trilogy whose worldbuilding is based on the Warrior Cats books of yore. Through three novel-length stories, we follow a cast of colorful characters living in the Clans, their respective personal journeys, and the dangers they and their homes collectively face. I'm at liberty to talk about two of the books right now; the third is in the process of gaining a plot skeleton and already has a title, an outlined story, and an established cast of supporting characters. 

    Silent Shadows, Book 1: follows a young medicine cat named Hailwatcher and his unwilling involvement in an assassination plot. Amidst increasing danger and assorted petty criminal behavior, Hailwatcher seeks out answers regarding his deceased mother's divisive legacy.

    Sneaking Suspicions, Book 2: follows three cats: Wavepaw, a medicine apprentice granted with the ability to sense nervous tells and detect lies, Goosedown, a nervous father-to-be trying to protect his family while tensions rise around the lake, and Silverpaw, the stern daughter of a morally dubious [and possibly murderous] Clan leader trying to find her way in the world. The three are brought together by a rebellion that wishes to reveal the crime[s?] of Silverpaw's father. 

    This blog will chronicle the progress of Book 2, since Silent Shadows is finished, and provide answers to reader questions, lore drops, quizzes, and other fun things. 

I believe that's all for today, so stay tuned for more information!

Sneaking Suspicions- Meet The Protagonists!

         Hey everybody! Dewey here, with a [very late] protagonist introduction for Sneaking Suspicions. As some of you may already know, Sneaking Suspicions has three main characters, and here are their profiles: Protag #1: Wavepaw A lovable, mischievous, and ever-excitable sweetheart, Wavepaw has finally achieved her dream of becoming a medicine apprentice. She's been following her now-mentor, Ivyhawk, around since she could walk, and as such already possesses a remarkable amount of medicine knowledge and healing prowess. Wavepaw is especially sensitive to the plights of those around her, being able to reliably pick up on the tension of anyone in her general vicinity. This ability has since expanded into an act of sorts; often Wavepaw presses the unfortunate mark until they're forced to either tell her the truth or try to lie. Though the moral dubiousness of this tactic is clear, Wavepaw supposes that liars can handle a taste of their own medicine every now and again.  Protag

Preview- Silent Shadows

   Hailpaw trudges through ShadowClan’s damp undergrowth, staring forlornly at his paws.  Managing to ignore- or at the very least, tolerate- the anxiety that caused an uncertain quiver in his gait was getting to be very difficult.   He was starting to regret declining Willowstar’s offer for an escort to the Moonpool, as perhaps some company would mitigate the loneliness that followed him everywhere he went, but it was too late for that now.   Besides, Hailpaw needed to show his Clan, and a certain someone in particular, that he was capable of handling something as simple as a trip to the Moonpool without needing to be guided the whole way through like a kit taking its first steps.  It was a paradox, truly, being left to his own devices when he truly needed help but being coddled in regards to much less pressing tasks like getting prey from the fresh-kill pile.  Hailpaw quickens his pace, though no excitement is present in his demeanor.  His imminent naming ceremony, after all, felt m
