<p>Beyond Equestria, the lands to the north are hostile and unforgiving. Ponies eke out a subsistence in uncontrollable weather, separated by mile after frigid mile of snow and mountains. A land where only the hardiest survive is no place for civilization.</p><p>Yet civilization encroaches from time to time. When a colossal bounty is placed on the head of a unicorn deep in the arts of necromancy, a motley crew of bounty hunters assembles and gives chase. It’s too good a chance to pass up. They’ll bring her to justice, no matter what stands in their way. Not her dark magic. Not the inhospitable environment.</p><p>And certainly not each other.</p><hr/><p>Other entries in this series:</p><ul><li><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">Hinterlands</span></li><li><a href="/story/507529/urban-wilds" rel="nofollow"><i>Urban Wilds</i></a></li><li><a href="/story/555286/death-valley" rel="nofollow"><i>Death Valley</i></a></li></ul>
