This story is a sequel to The Fourth Star.

The 'Nightmare War' is ancient history, yet as with all tragedies the scars are still to be found. Ponies cursed with a dark affliction that has dogged them for centuries may finally have hope as Princess Twilight is tasked by her fellow rulers to find a cure.

Travelling upon the most advanced airship Equestria has ever produced, Twilight will lead a team to uncover the ancient magic, hidden history and uncomfortable truths about the nature of the world. Will she be able to find a cure before time runs out for forgotten heroes? Are some princes too high to pay to save her fellow Equestrians?
