Cand orasul era inca un oras, oamenii se trezeau in fiecare dimineata in Berlinul de Vest si in Berlinul de Est, separate prin Zidul necrutator. Cand orasul era inca un oras, Timo, Jakob si Christa nu aveau cum sa stie ca, intr-o buna zi, vor fi nevoiti sa deschida ochii intr-o lume fara adulti, in cartierele unui Berlin de nerecunoscut, plin de primejdii. Un oras in care, pentru a supravietui, este nevoie sa faci parte dintr-un grup: Gropiusstadt, Havel, Reichstag, Tegel, Zoo. In ciuda luptelor inversunate insa, toti au ceva in comun: virusul care, la sfarsitul adolescentei, le va curma viata, ca si cum maturizarea ar fi fost o condamnare la moarte. Iar virusul nu este singura primejdie. O fiara misterioasa umbla libera pe strazi, ataca si ucide animale si copii, apoi dispare fara urme. Iar pentru a se apara de inamicul invizibil, tinerilor nu le mai ramane decat sa se alieze si sa lupte impreuna.

Sunt ghidate ?n ac?iunile lor de spiritele str?mo?ilor r?zboinici, reuni?i ?n Clanul Stelelor. Ro?covanul este un fost pisoi de cas? care s-a dovedit a fi puternic ?i descurc?re? ?n s?lb?ticie. Dup? ce a fost acceptat ca ucenic ?n Clanul Tunetului sub numele de Lab? de Foc, a primit titulatura de r?zboinic ?i numele Inim? de Foc. ?n cele din urm?, vitejia l-a adus p?n? la pozi?ia de secund ?n clan. Dar nu are o clip? de lini?te c?t? vreme Ghear? de Tigru, fostul secund, poate ataca oric?nd. ?i conduc?toarea Stea Albastr? ?i-a pierdut ?ncrederea ?n r?zboinicii clanului, dup? ce Ghear? de Tigru s-a dovedit a fi un tr?d?tor.
