Following the birth of Flurry Heart and the acquisition of King Sombra's journal, Twilight Sparkle sets out on a new quest to bring the insane king's followers to justice. Her quest leads her and Fluttershy to the very edge of Equestria, to the mythical forest known as "the Ulvenweald", a place filled with deadly beasts and vegetation alike.

Can a bookworm like Twilight and a pegasus with crippling anxiety like Fluttershy overcome such a place and hunt down the mad king's loyalist? Or are they, in fact, not the hunters but the prey?
