Fifteen years after becoming a Princess of Equestria, Twilight picks up on some strange occurrences: Ponies falling ill, then suddenly being cured... Foals disappearing from their beds and turning up on the other side of the continent... Misplaced beasts from the Everfree... She's more than certain it means something, but Celestia disagrees. So Twilight returns to Ponyville, to finally catch up with her old friends and maybe--just maybe--enlist their help against whatever is coming.

Deep in the heart of Tartaurus, an ancient evil is gathering his strength. Seeking vengeance for his past defeat, the dark King reaches out to those with a similar thirst. A deadly alliance is forged. Can the Knights of Harmony stand against the encroaching tide? Only time will tell.
