Stranded on a wild, untamed island after a devastating shipwreck, two groups of feline survivors rise from the depths of tragedy. ShoalClan, born from the steadfast resolve of three cats who kept vigil by the shore, and EmberClan, forged in defiance amidst the fiery shadows of a dormant volcano, now struggle to coexist. What began as a bond of survival has unraveled into bitter resentment, leaving the two clans locked in an uneasy rivalry. Will they ever find peace, or will the island's secrets deepen the divide? The choice is yours—shape the destiny of Warriors: Distant Shores!
