'''''Fading Echoes''''' is a children's fantasy novel. It is the second book in [[Erin Hunter]]'s [[Warriors (novel series)#Warriors: Omen of the Stars|''Warriors: Omen of the Stars'']]. It was released on April 6, 2010.

== Plot ==
At the beginning, the cats of the Dark Forest are training Breezepelt and other cats in the same way they trained Lionblaze. Hawkfrost begins to visit Ivypaw in her dreams and teaches her many battle moves, pretending he is from StarClan. Ivypaw, still jealous that Dovepaw is keeping secrets from her own kin, decides not to tell anyone about Hawkfrost's training.

During training with Lionblaze, Cinderheart, and Ivypaw, Dovepaw hears Sedgewhisker getting hurt by a dog on the moor through her powers. Lionblaze asks her about it, but when she suggests going over to check on the WindClan warrior, Lionblaze rejects this idea, telling her that they were no longer friends, but rival Clans. Dovepaw calls him cold and later that night, she and Ivypaw go on a walk. Dovepaw ends up persuading Ivypaw to go with her to WindClan's camp. Sedgewhisker, to Dovepaw's surprise, is angry and two warriors escort them home.

The Three reveal to Firestar who they are: Firestar reveals that he suspected it all along, but had his doubts after Hollyleaf's death. Firestar tells the Three what he knows about them and delivers a crucial piece of information: the prophecy is not from StarClan.

After days of rain, Dovepaw senses a tree on the edge of the hollow about to fall. She warns Firestar and the Clan, and they manage to evacuate the camp before the tree falls. However, Mousefur stays behind, refusing to give up on a mouse that she is eating. Longtail goes back for the mouse, and Briarpaw goes back for Longtail. As a result, Briarpaw's back bone breaks so she is unable to become a real warrior, and Longtail is killed. With Leafpool's help, Jayfeather finds out that Littlecloud had the same problem with another cat. The cat's lack of exercise allowed a chest infection to make it harder for him to breathe, eventually killing him.
Briarpaw, Bumblepaw, and Blossompaw get their warrior names: Briarlight, Blossomfall, and Bumblestripe.

Dovepaw sees Tigerheart at the border and they talk warmly. Dovepaw thinks afterwards that "Clanmates are Clanmates, but friends are just as precious."

Tigerstar tells Ivypaw that giving a strip of land to ShadowClan has endangered ThunderClan. Ivypaw believes Tigerstar and tells Firestar that she had a dream from StarClan of ShadowClan invading, because they believe that Firestar is too weak to keep his own territory. Firestar and the senior warriors decide to attack ShadowClan before they can attack ThunderClan. During the battle Lionblaze kills Russetfur, but not before she deprives Firestar of his seventh life. Lionblaze then looks upon the misery and death that the battle has brought, and believes that it should have never occurred.
