The Power of Three
This will be the third series in the Warriors saga.
Quoted fromt the Writers Unboxed interview: "It's going to be called POWER OF THREE, and will skip ahead one generation to some kits who will have a major impact on ThunderClan's destiny. Since you're clearly some of our most dedicated fans, we thought you'd like a sneak preview of the prophecy that sparks off this gripping series. Firestar receives it in a shadowy cave, far from home, from an ancient cat that is not from any Clan that we know…
Three will come, kin of your kin, with more power for good or evil than any cat that has walked the forest before.
.
1. The Sight("The Sight" is a working title and is probably subject to change)
No pictures or info are available yet. Expected to be released in 2007.

Single Novel: Firestar's Quest
Quoted again from the Writers Unboxed interview: "With the death ofTigerstar and Scourge, peace seems to have returned, and Firestar can get on with being a good leader to his Clan. But he is troubled by visits from a warrior ancestor he has never seen before. Who is this cat? What does he want with Firestar? And if what he says is true, then StarClan have lied to Firestar, and the warrior code is worth nothing...The kittypet turned leader, the fire who saved his Clan, must leave the forest and go on a long, dangerous journey to find out the truth - and restore his faith in StarClan."
It takes place between the events of the original series and the New Prophecy.

The Lost Warrior
-invalid_word-
Warriors is actually branching into the world of Manga novels! This is the first in a series of three that follow Graystripe's captivity from the end of Dawn to when he finally returns to ThunderClan. So Graystripe fangirls can breathe a sigh of relief. ;)
When the Twolegs destroy the warrior Clans' forest home, Graystripe--second in command of ThunderClan--is captured while trying to help his comrades escape! However, Graystripe soon discovers that the captive life as a pampered kittypet isn't all that bad. The cozy Twoleg nest and his new, affectionate family help Graystripe put his Clan days behind him. Still, nothing compares to the life of a warrior! With a new kittypet ally, Millie, by his side, will Graystripe ever find his way back to the Clan?

Secrets of the Clans
As first seen in the Writers Unboxed interview, I believe...
I'm putting together a guide to all things Clan and feline that have featured in the books so far. Look out for Warriors: Secrets of the Clans, which comes out next year. It's been great fun to go back and revisit my favorite scenes and characters, and investigate some more unusual viewpoints. Ever wonder what StarClan thought about Bluestar's decision to give up her kits? Or how Fernpaw and Ashpaw really felt about leading the vicious pack of dogs away from their Clanmates? All will be revealed, I promise!
