A {{prequel}} novella, ''Cloudstar's Journey'', was released as an e-book on January 29, 2013, and in physical form as part of the ''Warriors: The Untold Stories'' compilation on July 2, 2013. It tells the tale of the last days of [=SkyClan=] in the forest, and the events leading up to the prologue of ''Firestar's Quest'', where [=SkyClan=] was exiled.

Both Ancient and Modern [=SkyClan=] also feature prominently in ''Code of the Clans'' and ''Battles of the Clans'', which also give more background information on the events contributing to the fall of the Clan. As well, the origins of [=SkyClan=] are revealed in the fifth arc of ''Warriors'', ''[[Literature/WarriorCatsDawnOfTheClans Dawn of the Clans]]''.

* AdultFear: ''After the Flood'' has [[spoiler:your children suddenly going missing after a natural disaster and you having no idea where they are.]]
* ArcWelding: ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger'' connects the [=SkyClan=] Saga to [[spoiler:the second half of ''Power of Three'' by revealing that the origins of Sol were connected to the rebirth of [=SkyClan=].]]
* BigBad:
** The Rat King in ''Firestar's Quest''. He is descended from the rats that originally destroyed Ancient [=SkyClan=], and he intends to destroy the rebuilt [=SkyClan=] as well. He becomes the cause of almost all the conflict that occurs after he is introduced, and when he is defeated, everything is good.
** Dodge in ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny''. He leads a gang of cats that have taken over a Twolegplace near the gorge and his power is slowly growing. [[spoiler:Subverted in that he's not really that bad of a guy, and while the book makes it look like he will threaten [=SkyClan=] at some point, he doesn't have anything to do with them. The only reason he even comes to blows with the [=SkyClanners=] is because Stick made them enemies.]]
* CareerEndingInjury: A rabbit scratches out Longtail's eyes, forcing him to retire to the Elders' Den.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Did you think that the cover of ''After the Flood'' meant it would be LighterAndSofter? Too bad. It deals with [[spoiler:the fallout from a natural disaster, lynch mobs, and child abduction.]]
* DecoyProtagonist: Firestar may be the point of view character in ''Firestar's Quest'', but the [=SkyClan=] Saga is actually about Leafstar.
* DistantPrologue: The prologues of ''Firestar's Quest'' and ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'' both take place many years before the main events of the books, and deal with the fall of [=SkyClan=].
* TheExile:
** In the backstory, [=SkyClan=], the fifth Clan of the forest, was exiled by the other four Clans when they lost their home.
** In ''After the Flood'', [[spoiler:Leafstar temporarily exiles Billystorm after he suggests bringing their kits to his home while the cleanup of the camp is underway.]] As well, at the end of the graphic novel, [[spoiler:Sol is exiled from [=SkyClan=] forever after his abduction of Leafstar's kits.]]
* EyeScream:
** In ''Firestar's Quest'', a rabbit scratches Longtail's eyes, causing his blindness from ''The New Prophecy'' onward.
** In ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'', one of Percy's eyes is torn out by Misha.
* FirstEpisodeSpoiler:
** The existence of a fifth Clan is a spoiler for the prologue of ''Firestar's Quest'', but drives the plot of the entire [=SkyClan=] Saga.
** Leafstar becoming leader of Modern [=SkyClan=]. It's a spoiler for ''Firestar's Quest'', but is so important to the [=SkyClan=] Saga that we haven't even spoiler tagged it.
* {{Interquel}}: ''Firestar's Quest'' does double duty as the beginning of the [=SkyClan=] Saga and a bridge between the events of the Original Series and ''The New Prophecy''.
* LateArrivalSpoiler:
** ''Firestar's Quest'' does this to ''itself''. The reveal of a fifth Clan in the prologue is intended to be a WhamEpisode, but the shock is mitigated by [=SkyClan=] being listed in the Allegiances. As well, the Allegiances also reveal every cat that will join [=SkyClan=], although thankfully not that Leafstar is their leader.
** The titles of ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny'' and ''[=SkyClan=] and the Stranger'', as well as the contents of ''Cats of the Clans'', ''Code of the Clans'', and ''Battles of the Clans'', all spoil the existence of [=SkyClan=]. As well, reading those field guides before picking up ''Firestar's Quest'' spoil Leafstar becoming the first leader of Modern [=SkyClan=].
* LoveTriangle: While it was already there in the Original Series and ''The New Prophecy'', ''Firestar's Quest'' was the book where Firestar's whole BettyAndVeronica thing with Spottedleaf and Sandstorm actually started being focused on.
* {{Prequel}}: ''Cloudstar's Journey'', which explains the events leading up to the fall of [=SkyClan=].
* SpoilerTitle:
** Both played straight and subverted by the title of ''[=SkyClan=]'s Destiny''. Every other Super Edition is named after its main character, so you would expect it to be named after Leafstar and give the LateArrivalSpoiler of who becomes Clan leader at the end of ''Firestar's Quest''. However, instead it's named after [=SkyClan=], giving away the much lesser spoiler of their existence. The manga series follows suit.
** ''After the Flood'' reveals that there is a flood to readers who haven't picked up ''Beyond the Code'' yet. Not that the cover of ''Beyond the Flood'' helps.
* TwistEnding: The end of ''The Resuce'' reveals that [[spoiler:the seemingly benevolent Harry is actually Sol, the villain of the ''Power of Three'' arc.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
** Due to the battle with the rats at the end of ''Firestar's Quest'', most of [=SkyClan=] ends up scared of rats.
** Snookthorn is terrified of everything, but in particular he's afraid of [[spoiler:Twolegs, because of the abusive Twoleg's treatment of him.]]
