The official prequel to Rainbow's Lament!

When an emergency arises in the middle of the night, Dusk Shine finds himself on a journey into the Everfree Forest to uncover the reason behind Bubble Berry's sudden, unexplained insanity. There's just one problem: something is chasing after him on his quest. Something mysterious, dark and horrible...

...and it's catching up.
