Rose Book is a normal earth-pony mare. She lives a quiet live and earns her money with selling her books about plants. She is thoroughly happy with her life. From time to time, she visits the border of the Everfree Forest to gather some seeds for rare plants. The forest was not dangerous until some hours after nightfall and also, not on the border.

One particular day, she went further than normal into the forest. Without noticing it, she walked into a part of the forest she never heard anything about. Strange unknown plants and dark moving shadows were living at this part of the forest, and Rose Book quickly finds herself in a situation where she wished that she only had to deal with timberwolves and manticores.
