This story is a sequel to Unmarked

Continuing the search for Havoc's locked away powers, Novell and Whisper must lead their friends on separate quests to both the wintry peaks of the Draconic Domain and Dromadary, the deserts of the Camels. Unprepared for her newfound role as leader, Whisper must brave a labyrinth of political intrigue and assassinations, while Novell is forced to put his diplomacy aside and stand his ground before the might of the dragons. All the while, the avatar of chaos schemes from the shadows, gathering deadly, new allies to bring about a world under his direct control.

The sands of Havoc's Hourglass diminish with each day gone by.

Appleoosa was created by the sweat of earth pony brows, stubbornness and more than a few bits. Now that Braeburn’s seen his dream come true, the investors have sent a pony representing their interests.

Turns out, Appleoosa ain’t the money maker they were looking for and they've come to Braeburn with an ultimatum: pay back their investment or lose the town he helped work so hard to build.

Professor Search has gathered many stories throughout his time in Equestria. Letters, confessions, studies—each lay within these pages, for every being has a story, whether they be pony, griffon or something else entirely.

Sometimes it feels like these lazy summer days will last forever. It's calm. Peaceful. Perfect. Life will come to me eventually, but right now, I just want to stay where I am, listening to the melody of the world around me. Still, I can't shake that feeling that something's... missing.

I just don't know if I should care.

(5-Star on Equestria Daily!) Purpose. In Equestria, where purpose is defined by the mark on your flank, it is often taken for granted. Yet Novell has grown to adulthood without a single explanation of where he fits in. It's not until a chance meeting with a particular Professor that he gets the opportunity to explore the world and find out exactly where he belongs. Of course, adventuring has a host of its own problems, as this blank flank is about to find out!

(4-Star on Equestria Daily!) Twilight Sparkle has a lot of free time now that she isn't required to send a Friendship Report every week. So what's a bookworm like this unicorn supposed to do? Write a novel! Of course, writing is a bit more difficult than one might think!
