Spectrum of Lightning (Daring Did Volume 1) is out!

Librarian. Editor. Publisher. Teacher.

Since 2014, we've thought of Twilight Velvet, Twilight Sparkle's mom, as either of these things. After "Daring Don't" showed us once and for all that Twilight Velvet was not the author of the Daring Do books, we've settled for more subdued headcanons regarding Twilight Velvet.

But suppose everyone is wrong.

What if A.K. Yearling isn't the only author of the Daring Do books? What if Twilight Velvet knows more about Daring Do than she lets on? What if this is not just a case of writing in tandem, but also globetrotting in tandem?

And if all that is true, why don't we see Velvet's name in any of the Daring Do books? Why are Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor none the wiser?

Find out in Daring Did: Tales of an Adventurer's Companion, an action-adventure series that delves into the secret past of Twilight Velvet and Daring Do. Travel the world, discover lost locales, find powerful artifacts, and shoot down your enemies with guns.

Lots and lots of guns.

Daring Did: Tales of an Adventurer's Companion is a fanfiction series that aims to breathe new life into a once popular headcanon: that Twilight Velvet—Twilight Sparkle's mother—was directly involved with Daring Do and her adventures. Travel with Daring Do and Twilight Velvet across Equestria and beyond as the discover treasures of old, battle dangerous foes, and unearth the knowledge the world’s past has to offer. Drawing inspiration from real-world archeology, locales, and cultures; auxiliary MLP material like the IDW comics and G.M. Berrow chapter books; and standard action-adventure fare like Uncharted and Indiana Jones, Daring Did combines all of these elements into a witty, yet deep narrative that captures a spirit of exploration and exhilaration.
