After her defeat in Canterlot, Queen Chrysalis returns to her hive to find it in ruin. Amidst the rubble, she finds a lone survivor.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

It has only been a month since Luna has been released from the Nightmare Forces' grasp, but she still feels like that she feels out of place. But, she also feels like that the battle is not over and she refuses to accept it that Nightmare Moon is gone. And she is correct, but will she stay herself?
