Dragon Lord Ember took her throne when she won the Bloodstone Scepter, and its ancient magic which controls dragon minds.
In a world linked to Equestria, a very different Ember chafes under her father's leadership, hungry to take ownership of the instinct-controlling power of the Bloodstone Crown.
Their two worlds are about to meet. And only one dragon will stand between Equestria and the deadly, unforgiving call of the wild.
