TL;DR - Blueblood is a gritty alicorn superhero.

The coronation of Princess Twilight Sparkle… Blueblood can’t stand it! Somepony gets a pair of wings and suddenly they become royalty and the talk of Equestria! It’s just not fair!

When a mysterious guest offers him wings of his own and even more newfound abilities, how could Blueblood possibly refuse? The power is everything he’d ever dreamed of.

But when Blueblood discovers that he’s not the only pony in Canterlot with a mysterious benefactor granting them special gifts, he realizes that something nefarious is going on. Now, with his most bitter rival as his unwilling ally, Equestria’s most unpopular royal is going to have to find it within himself to be the hero Equestria doesn’t want, but definitely needs.

King Sombra’s dark influence was obliterated by the Crystal Heart, and the villain is well and truly dead. But when he attempts to steal the afterlife of an innocent victim, a human spirit is left hurtling towards Equestria, where this unfortunate soul is revived into the only vessel available: the reconstituted body of King Sombra himself.

Thus, a cheerfully oblivious alien is crammed into the form of the most evil and malicious being Equestria has ever known. Not that Shining Armor and Cadence know this, of course. As far as they are concerned, the King is back and he’s lost his fricking mind.
