It was Clover the Clever's dream that unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies live together in harmony.

But two years after she helped found Equestria, deep divisions remain. The unicorns still demand tribute from the earth ponies. Pegasi dissidents grumble at Commander Hurricane's newfound friendship with the unicorns. Worst of all, the ghastly Windigos still roam Equestria's Northern border.

Enter a world of magical beasts, palace intrigue, and a divided kingdom. In a hostile and divided world, can Clover and her friends bring about the dream they've always wanted? And to what lengths will they go to make it happen?
