Bluestar's Prophecy is a children's fantasy novel in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. This is the second Warriors Super Edition, the first being Firestar's Quest. The book follows Bluefur as she matures from kithood and eventually becomes the leader of ThunderClan, also revealing a prophecy she receives from Goosefeather: "You are fire, Bluepaw, and you will blaze through the forest. But beware! Even the most powerful flames can be destroyed by water." It was published by HarperCollins and released on July 28, 2009. It was released in China on July 31, 2010.
Bluestar's Prophecy is the lifestory of Bluekit, a blue-gray she-cat born into ThunderClan along with her white sister, Snowkit. A few moons (months) after becoming an apprentice (with her name being changed to “Bluepaw”), ThunderClan attacks another Clan named WindClan because of stolen prey. Bluepaw’s mother, Moonflower, is killed during the raid. At the Gathering—the monthly meeting of the four Clans—Bluepaw meets a tabby apprentice named Crookedpaw (later Crookedjaw and then Crookedstar), an apprentice from RiverClan, and they become friends. Their friendship doesn’t last when the two angry Clans battle over territory, and Bluepaw defeats Crookedpaw with the help of Snowpaw.
Bluepaw later goes on a hunting patrol with Snowpaw. They chase a rabbit into a hole, and they end up at a place called Snakerocks, where a fox had already killed the rabbit. Bluepaw runs toward the camp with Snowpaw ahead of her, but realizes that she is leading the fox directly to her Clanmates. Bluepaw then faces the fox and is interrupted when a lightning strike sets a branch above her on fire. Goosefeather, the Clan's medicine cat, receives a prophecy about Bluepaw being a fire that blazes through the forest, but water may destroy her. Bluepaw and Snowpaw receive their warrior names, Bluefur and Snowfur. Snowfur's relationship with her sister is damaged when she falls in love with a spiky-furred dark gray-and-white cat named Thistleclaw, whom Bluefur feels is arrogant and untrustworthy. Afterwards, Thistleclaw and Snowfur have a son, Whitekit, later known as Whitepaw, and then Whitestorm.
Bluefur meets a famous RiverClan warrior named Oakheart, a handsome reddish brown tom; although she does not seem to like him at first, they eventually fall in love. Meanwhile, Pinestar, Bluefur's leader, leaves ThunderClan to become a kittypet (house cat). Sunfall, Pinestar’s deputy, takes his place as ThunderClan’s leader, and becomes known as Sunstar. Then, Snowfur is killed, hit by a speeding car while chasing ShadowClan intruders from their territory, leaving a heartbroken Bluefur to care for Whitekit.
