Even heroes need some time to relax.

Especially heroes that, not half a month ago, saved all of Equestria from being destroyed by the eruption of a super-volcano located directly underneath Canterlot. And so, taking some time off from her new book 'Daring Do and the Witches Plot' and her job at Canterlot Museum, Daring decided to take a vacation to a land shrouded in mystery. (At least, that's what the brochure said.) With her things packed, Daring Do set off to the island nation of Neighpon for a relaxing vacation.

But adventure finds Daring wherever she runs, and it isn't long until she's pulled headfirst into an ancient legend and fighting for her life against ghosts, samurai zombies, ninja foxes and her old nemesis Ahuizotl in search of a weapon that can turn the tide of any war. The spear of a legendary samurai.
