The Warriors Wiki has found a listing of ASC 5, officially called Wind!
We don't have a cover yet but here is the blurb
The adventure continues in the fifth book of the eighth pawsome story arc in Erin Hunter's #1 bestselling Warriors series!
Frostpaw has returned to the lake just in time to reveal all she knows at the Gathering—but the Clans are reluctant to believe an apprentice who’s already admitted to lying about her visions in the past, and she is forced to take refuge in ShadowClan as Splashtail seizes control of her home.
While the other Clan leaders debate whether to interfere any further in RiverClan affairs, Nightheart returns to ThunderClan. But what should be a happy reunion with his mate is more complicated than he or Sunbeam expected. Nightheart has his paws full teaching Clan ways to the two park cats who followed him home, and Sunbeam’s efforts to fit in as the newest member of ThunderClan are hampered by her concerns for her mother, who is paying for her treachery with exile and illness. As Berryheart’s schemes take an alarming new turn— and Splashtail’s ambitions turn toward violence—a few cats’ efforts may not be enough to preserve the peace.
Edit: I don't know the website they found the blurb on, but here is the twitter thread: /photo/1

Well, spoilers much! Otherwise, I'm actually kind of excited. Also, a pair of cats following Nightheart home? That sounds adorable!

I feel like they have been giving away too much with these recent blurbs. I’d rather they keep blurbs more vague.

Edit: I don't know the website they found the blurb on, but here is the twitter thread: The website is called Edelweiss, a book catalog site. The wiki has a link to it.

So Nightheart is the mysterious tom that finds frostpaw and goes on the journey with her, so much for the random windclan warrior idea. I’m also not entirely fond of the implication that Thunder is about to have 2/3 POVs not at the lake, i hope Sunbeams chapters are interesting

I... if this is real, this is an even worse blurb than Shadow in terms of spoilers.
Things revealed:
Frostpaw's journey in Thunder will not conclude by the end of the book Frostpaw goes to ShadowClan Splashtail takes over RiverClan RiverClan problems still going on (not unexpected but still important piece of information given away) Sunbeam and Nightheart are officially mates Nightheart left the lake (basically confirmation that he is the one to go with Frostpaw) Cats of the Park involvement confirmed TWO cats came home with him Berryheart TREACHEROUS, EXILED AND ILL (I'm sorry, this is a HUGE spoiler. This confirms Berryheart HAS DONE SOMETHING MAJOR in Thunder worthy of being exiled.) Splashtail is violent and ambitious (confirming Splashtail as a villain- obvious, sure, but don't spoil it so far ahead!)
This is all super exciting, but these blurbs are really getting out of hand. I can't wait to read the books, but now so many things about Thunder have been spoiled, which is honsetly a little disappointing.
ETA: Pawsome in the tweet. Pawsome. Paw-some. I love it.

Oh wow, I already expected/feared that the blurb for Wind would indeed reveal too much of what happened in Thunder before the book even comes out (just like it happened with the blurb for Thunder which revealed that Frostpaw had been injured at the end of Shadow before that book got released). But this is kinda getting excessive at this point lmao, holy crap!
So the major parts from this blurb seem to be:
- Splashtail is going full villain mode (which I wanted to happen so I'm happy, good for him)
- Nightheart is indeed the warrior that goes with Frostpaw on her quest to the old territories
- There are two park cat who followed him home and might become Clan cats (wanted an 'outsider joins the Clans' storyline for this arc anyways so again, I'm very happy about this)
- Berryheart has been exiled for a treacherous act she committed (either Tigerstar found out she conspired with Splashtail or something else will happen in Thunder that lead to her getting banished) and is also ill but apparently still scheming (good for her since I love me a newer she-cat antagonist or even full on villain as there haven't been many who are all that memorable except for Mapleshade, and Sleekwhisker to a lesser extent)
They really need to stop making these blurbs so long (filled with too much info) and instead should consider going with a more vague route (or no blurbs at all, just the cover) imho.
Edit: I hope one of the park cats who followed Nightheart home is WAFFLEPAW MY BELOVED (for the meme lol).

I do feel like this means that the official Warrior Cats website might post the cover (and this blurb) on there soon. Especially if they see the fandom reacting to it on various sites today (such as on Twitter, tumblr, Instagram and the wcrpforums). Just a hunch though.

I think it's pretty likely that we'll get the cover tomorrow.
The reveal gives us a lot of spoilers, but it's also interesting in what it doesn't reveal - we still don't know for sure that Squirrelflight becomes the leader or if something happens.
One of the cats following Nightheart is likely to be Wafflepaw from the instagram contest thing. What I find interesting is that Nightheart seems responsible for training them - and if that counts as mentorship, that could qualify him to be the next deputy.

Why don’t they just spoil the whole ending why don’t they!?.
So Berryheart is confirmed to be getting punished for her meddling, not super surprising, although wasn’t expecting her to be exiled.
Also appears that Riverstar’s SE will likely have some relevance to ASC as well.
And looks that Sunbeam and Nightheart are sticking together for long haul. Which is nice.
I wonder if Splashtail taking control of Riverclan coupled with Berryheart being exiled, means Tigerheart has decided to step back and concern himself with his own affairs.

Why not have Frostpaw seek refuge in WindClan? The name of the book is Wind, and it would be so nice to finally get some inside WindClan perspective on these events.

This sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing. ☺️ I do wish we could get more WindClan insight on all this as already stated, but it doesn’t look like we will.
I do wonder if Tigerstar’s reasoning for backing out of RiverClan is due to the potential Leafstar-Squirrelstar team up.

"As Splashtail seizes control of her home"
Foreshadowing in Shadow ironiclly:
If that isn't foreshadowing, then I don't know what is.

absolutely fantastic, nightheart is the one going with frostpaw
excited to see whatever blasphemous reason they make up for him to possibly even consider leaving home to go with her for
(on an actually excited note, looks like berryheart's been exiled and two "Park cats" (cats of the park im assuming) have joined thunderclan!! lots to look forward to)

If this is real, guess I don't have to read Thunder now... You won't have to read Wind either, once Book 6's blurb drops next month with "Nightstar's battle with Splashtail is finally over. Sunbeam, still grieving the death of her mother, has decided to honor her promise and returned to Shadowclan for good.."

Spoilers much? No point in reading book 4 I guess lol. Looks like Thunder has a lot going on. I've found the arc so far to be pretty bad but I'm quite liking the Clan politics and things seem to be picking up.

I’m starting to believe this isn’t actually the blurb of the book and some poor (soon to be fired) employee accidentally wrote the sleeve summary instead of the blurb
it doesn’t have the characteristics of a blurb at all as it’s way too long, name drops actual villians and almost summarizes Thunder. i believe this is a major mess up and i hope they fix it

Yay, can't wait for the cover reveal. In others news, that is a lot of spoilers.
I guess Nightheart is indeed the cat who travels with Frostpaw. He also brings two cats from the park back with him. I'm assuming that one of them is Wafflepaw.
I am now curious as to what Berryheart did. It could be what Nightheart and Sunbeam overheard in Shadow or it could be something completely different. Whatever it was, it must have been pretty bad if she had to be exiled.
Splashtail is officially the villain. We haven't really had a RC villain since... Hawkfrost? So this is a nice change of pace. Though his name does not scream "villain" to me. Oh well. He took over RC though, which is pretty bad. This kind of heavily implies him as the cat who attacked Frostpaw at the end of Shadow. She must be pretty heartbroken after realizing the true nature of her crush.
I hope Frostpaw's littermates are doing all right. Also Splashtail's soon to be younger siblings. Don't know what book they'll be born in.

I'm just here waiting to see what part WindClan will play in all of this.
You can't call the book Wind and not even mention them in the blurb.

I went into this knowing I shouldn't read it because Warriors is incapable of producing a blurb without spoiling the entire arc and it's grandmother these days and I still regret it. Has anyone ever thought to contact the company/site/whoever whose in charge of this/making the decision on what to say in the blurb and explaining to them politely this is sort of ridiculous? Not that I think it would really help in the end. I guess the lesson is to just stay away from the blurbs.
Also on one hand disappointed to find out both park cats join Thunderclan and none Riverclan. But on the other hand Thunderclan needs all the fresh bloodline it can get.
