Yellowfang finds she is pregnant. Because this is against the medicine cat vows, Yellowfang gives birth in secret. Only one kit survives. She names the kit Brokenkit and gives it to Raggedpelt. Many people think Foxheart is Brokenkit's mother. Brokenkit grows up spoiled, and cruel. Eventually, Brokenkit becomes the warrior Brokentail, and later, gains rank in the clan. Brokentail trains his apprentices harshly. When Raggedpelt tells Brokentail it is too much, Brokentail pretends to agree but then plans to kill him to become leader of the clan. Brokentail makes it look like people from another clan, WindClan, killed Raggedpelt.
