For as long as Rainbow Dash could remember, her life was simple, straightforward, and planned out with one goal in mind: become the best flyer in all of Equestria. Simple. But when she unwittingly comes across a tool that allows her to relive the memories of her ancestors, that simplicity is challenged when she discovers dark secrets hidden in her family's past as well as Equestria's history that not only challenge her perceptions of reality, but threatens to alter her very psyche.

As she's thrust into the remnants of a centuries-long war, as she questions the morals of those around her, as she battles to separate reality from fantasy, will Rainbow be able to hold on to her own beliefs or will she embrace her family's blood-stained traditions and finish what they started?

Long ago, when Princesses Celestia and Luna both ruled together, a war was fought in the shadows between Luna's Brotherhood of Assassins and Celestia's Order of the Knights Templar. Blood was spilled across Equestria until the banishment of Princess Luna, and the Brotherhood went into hiding, while Celestia and her Templars gained complete control of Equestria. The return of NightMare Moon and rebirth of Luna brought the Brotherhood out of hiding and the war between the Brotherhood and the Templars began once again. The Brotherhood's targets are all known as the "saviors" of Equestria, the bearers of the Elements of Harmony.

Rainbow has a crush, and Rarity seems to be the only one who wasn't informed. As she searches for the identity of Rainbow Dash's new love interest, Rarity questions whether or not her conclusions are based on reality... or on what she wishes were true.
