Peace has finally come to Anok. Nightwing is dead. Echofrost, Hazelwind, and the Storm Herd pegasi have returned from the Sandwen Realm. All seems well. Many years have passed since Star's defeat of Nightwing. Star and Morningleaf are now Starwing and Morningcloud, leaders of River Herd. Their herd lives in peace with Echocloud and Hazelwing's herd, Storm Herd. But a new herd has come out of the shadows. Frostfire reformed Mountain Herd and made himself Over Stallion. His wishes for Anok are anything but peaceful. In addition, Starwing's filly, Shadowblaze, was born pure black, and a question remains strong. Will Shadowblaze receive starfire from the Hundred Year Star? Cover art by Dragon on theguardianherd.com Best rank #3 guardianherd as of September 2021
