This story is based on the leaked season finale, don't read unless you want spoilers (also fits in with my Alpha's Love story line-- so I'll put in alternate universe just to be safe)
Defeat... once more, but this time far more devastating. What is a lost campaign next to a lost kingdom? The loss of a hive, the betrayal of her subjects, it's all too much for one queen to handle. How dare the ponies who should have been crippled defeat her, how dare her traitorous offspring usurp her throne, and how dare her subjects turn on her when she needed them most. But that's fine, she knows where to find other hives, other followers, she knows where to find the one changeling alpha who can not only gain her back her throne but make every pony and traitor suffer endlessly for their actions. She knows where to find Mandrake, her friend, her lover, her partner. Together they sired the new changeling order and empire. Together they will reclaim it. And in his fortress of Citadel Tor, she will fully come to grips with what has happened and what the future will hold. Even if the future is filled with blood.
Just put this spoiler warning for the cover, and after the finale premiers I'll remove it.
