"We cannot say how long his memory will live, but there is this: A world with no room for the Gordons is a world that will return to the sands." - "Khartoum" (1966)
Starlight Glimmer and Radiant Hope are two mares trying to leave their pasts behind. But when circumstances force them to embark on a perilous journey together, they will discover that the past is never quite so easy to escape.
Having grown up (somewhat) and on the run from the law, the Cutie Mark Crusaders fight to bring justice to those who have none. But when the past catches up with them, they shall have to face everything they have so long been running from.
1000 years ago, before discovering the Umbrum, Radiant Hope faces another dilemma. An incurable plague, a town on the verge of annihilation, and an evil unlike anything she has ever known. Can she overcome it without giving in to darkness herself?
A newly-reformed Sombra must save his beloved Radiant Hope from his own people, the Umbrum. But when he descends into the depths of the Prison of Shadows, will he be ready for what might come to light?
