Three months have passed since Ace and Twilight first got together, and Twilight has grown more and more nervous about their future. Ace has to perform the ritual to prolong his life, which he has only barely managed to complete in the previous two attempts. Should he fail a third time, his life may very well be forfeit...

Little is known about the very secretive ritual, normally meant only to be performed by ascended Alicorns, not Unicorns, and lesser still about the adverse effects that are caused when somepony fails to complete the ritual as intended. Ace's theory has always been that, should a Unicorn fail thrice in a row, then their magic will devour them from the inside out. Hopefully, that won't happen...

This book is a near-immediate sequel to the first in Ace and Twilight's series, Ace's Spell Shop. As with all of my stories, I am still working out what's going to happen as the book progresses, so I look forward to going on the same journey as all of you!
