The magic is gone.
No matter how hard Sunset Shimmer tries, she can’t figure out where it disappeared to ever since Twilight Sparkle had come to their school. The portal remains, her last chance to study the magic of the human dimension, but its allure of adventure and the place she once called home is tempting her away from her friends.
Twilight feels like an outsider in Canterlot High. She doesn’t belong, everyone stares at her for what she did, and darkness still lurks in her dreams. Now her dreams are changing. A voice whispers riddles in a forgotten tongue, seven talismans shine, holding seven monstrous figures at bay, and she gets the most curious feeling that she’s barely begun falling down the rabbit hole.
