Once again, poor Princess Luna misses out on the adventure. While Twilight Sparkle and her friends were saving the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Princess Celestia and Spike defended Canterlot, Princess Luna was nowhere to be found. Just like the Royal Wedding.
But that doesn't mean the beloved Princess of the Night was taking it easy during the passing of the Secretariat Comet. Canterlot was not the only city that was threatened by magical beasts enhanced by the comet's strange magic, and Princess Celestia wasn't the only Princess defending her subjects that night.
Only...something is different with this monster that is attacking Manehattan. It is unlike anything Luna has ever seen, and when even her enhanced magic from the comet fails to stop the creature, she must find another way to defeat it before it destroys her and the city.

One warrior to challenge the dead. The Abhorsen is this warrior, the legacy passed from generation to generation. When one Abhorsen falls, another must take their place, using the Free Magic art of Necromancy in cooperation with the magic that is the Charter to prevent the Dead from walking once in life.

Twilight is the daughter of the magician, The Abhorsen. Ever since the age of five she has lived outside of the Wall, outside of The Old Empire of Warhorse - far away from the uncontrolled power of Free Magic, away from the Dead who walk again in life.

But now her father is missing and Twilight is called upon to cross from the comfortable world of Equestria back into the world that she was born into so that she may find him. Leaving the safety of the school she has known as home, Twilight must embark upon a quest fraught with supernatural dangers, with companions she is not certain of. After all, nothing is as it seems in the Empire.

For there she must confront an evil that threatens much more than her life and that of her father. Armed with the sword of the Abhorsen and the Seven Necromantic bells, she will come face to face with her hidden destiny...

Based off of the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix... because Garth Nix is awesome.

Commander Shepard remembers firing the crucible. She remembers she had to make an important choice. She remembers good friends, a lover, and plenty of loyal crewmen.

She just can't remember what her choice was. What the threat she was striving so hard to end was. Or what the faces of the most important people in her life look like.

She also has no idea how she wound up in the monster filled forest she's come to call home for the past eight months. Or how she picked up a snarky A.I. making its home in her omni-tool.

Everypony expect that the wonderbolts have a great life and lot of friends, but when Spitfire damages her wing at a live performance, something changes inside her and she wants to leave Cloudsdale she realizes that perhaps she can't turn to anypony.

When Dialga and Palkia start to attack one another in Alamos Town, a Ponyta named Flare Blitz is caught in the crossfire. After falling into the dimensional rift, he finds himself in a strange new land filled with brightly coloured ponies. Flare doesn't know how he got here or if he can even get back home...

The question is, will he even want to go home?
