More than a week has passed since the Summer Sun Celebration and Luna's return, and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (a.k.a. Cadance) finally arrives in Canterlot after being recalled from a field tour. Princess Luna soon reacts badly to the existence of a third alicorn princess, threatening several relationships and giving an "enemy within" opportunity to attack. In the resulting tempest of alicorn passions and conspiratorial schemes, all Equestria is placed in peril. Now several of our heroes, lead primarily by Lieutenant Captain Shining Armor, must reconcile the alicorns and defeat the conspiracy in order to save Equestria!

Four days after the defeat of "Nightmare Moon" and Luna's arrival in Canterlot, freshly-promoted Lieutenant Captain Shining Armor starts his new role as the commanding officer of the nighttime "Luna Shift".

But there are enemies everywhere. The emotional and psychological demons that pulled Princess Luna into evil one thousand years ago threaten to do so again. The Canterlot elite show a surprising degree of apathy regarding Luna or her problems. And there is also a danger within the Royal Guard itself - mavericks that would gladly derail Luna's rehabilitation and ruin Shining Armor's reputation to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Lines will be drawn and sides will be taken as all those good and noble prepare to fight for the future of Princess Luna - a fight with significant consequences for the fate of Equestria!
