Love is the most sacred of magics, possessed by all but commanded by few.  It is the driving force behind life in Equestria, the lifeblood of pony civilization.

But when a new kind of magic arrives in Equestria, it is up to its bearer, Twilight Sparkle, to decide its fate...

or perhaps it's up to the magic to decide hers.

There are lands far beyond Equestria. Lands that even Celestia does not comprehend. Lands that are in perpetual chaos and melancholy, filled to the brim with creatures who want nothing more than to tear your face off. Ponyville now harbours one of these killing machines, and whether it be his salvation or his downfall depends on the ponies. Will they accept a creature who's killed countless lives? Or will they deny him the second chance he so desperately wants? Read as they are thrown into a web of lies, romance and hatred. Watch as they surmount dangerous obstacles and learn more about themselves in the meantime. But remember one thing, and one thing only.

You cannot kill hatred.
