When asked why she delves into the most ancient and treacherous temples in known and unknown Equestria, Daring's most likely response is a shrug and a casual, "Eh. It's a living."

At some points, however, the most petrifying ventures have the potential to be those merely within the complex ruins of the inner city. This is one of those ventures. Daring Do, with her heaviest load of cold hard cash strapped firmly to her back, must walk through the cold hard streets of Manehattan... at night.

After her most recent expedition having ended up in a failure once more, Daring Do is having a difficult time to process it all in her mind. She even thinks about giving up. Her luck seems to return to her once more, when her ears picked up the right conversation between two shady characters.

What happened next was a tale of mystery and suspense in order to find the mythical Sun-piece. A tale that ended up with revelations that would shake the land and endanger her life on more then one occasion.

All done while an ancient force haunts and hunts on the explorer.

Also take in mind that this is written as a book in the Daring Do franchise so the history of Equestria is gently morphed to work out the Mane 6.

After attempting to reclaim the crown that once belonged to Princess Platinum of Unicornia she finds herself betrayed, endangered, and left with no prize to show for all of her efforts.

Daring must make an unlikely ally if she is to discover the new owner of the Platinum crown, and then recover it.
