The hundreds of trees of Sweet Apple Acres silently hold many secrets. The deaths of Big McIntosh's parents and the origins of his cutie mark are only two. For generations the trees have kept their watch over the Apple family and the sleepy town of Ponyville. And now one secret, long thought dead, is about to return and make the ponies of Ponyville wonder what really is in: the Blood of Apples.
