Twilight Sparkle, model Equestrian citizen, has had her life turned upside-down by revelations that the world she lived in is nothing more than a lie. Fate, and less poetically-sugarcoated circumstances have led her to join five other mares in the fight against the forces that keep Equestria a fear-filled dystopia. But as the fight wears on, more and more secrets come to light, and Twilight comes to fear that nothing is as it seems in the magical land of Equestria.
