It's been five weeks since the Battle of the Bands. And the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings are getting along just fine. All good things come to an end when a girl called Flare Warden teleports herself to their Canterlot High and asks them for help.

Soon after the triumphant and juvenile Princess Twilight Sparkle returns from her journey to the human world and returns to Ponyville, Fluttershy and Trixie are unexpectedly whisked away. . . into a Daring Do story.

A battle between chaos and harmony. A slow recovery of a nation. Two princesses, one wise but limited, and one naive yet open-minded. And a dozen foals that have suffered under child abuse ever since their rule. What else may befall the Equestrians?
