When a Rainbow Dash from another world crash lands near the Badlands Hive, Princess Twilight Sparkle, daughter of Queen Chrysalis, works to find a way to send her home.
It has been forty-three years since Queen Twilight Sparkle first discovered her lineage and claimed her birthright. And never has it been harder on her than when The New Kingdom is unveiled to the world.
Why do changelings need to feed on love? how did they come about? The young son of Queen Chrysalis will discover the secrets and history of his people, and how not all changlings think the same despite being in a hive.
In order to save the hive, the changeling princess known as Twilight Sparkle is sent to evaluate the prospects of friendship as a food source. Then everything goes wrong, and she is forced to fight a legend. But she won't be alone.
Following her defeat, Chrysalis visits Celestia in her chambers for a long chat. For all their differences, they also find they have a lot in common, some of which puts Chrysalis’ recent actions in a new light.
Changeling hives are vanishing with no trace left behind, who, or what is hunting the changeling race? And what fate awaits Queen Twilight Sparkle and the rest of her hive?
Queen Chrysalis and her son have been driven out of the Badlands, and gotten themselves captured by the guards stationed in Baltimare. Upon their transferral to Canterlot, Celestia arranges to get information from them by any means necessary.
Her hive starving and crippled and herself in even worse condition Chrysalis turns to the only being in Equestria that can help. Too bad that this particular pony has so many reasons to hate her.
Imprisoned, Queen Chrysalis writes the story of her life, her legacy. But not for those pathetic ponies! Gifted with a daughter, she cherishes what could be the last changeling she will ever interact with...
The Queen is dead...and the changelings don't know how to cope. On their journey back to the hive, Silverfang, Mist Rider, and Mirage share their memories of their dearly departed mother.
After the defeat of the changelings, Queen Chrysalis realizes that her remaining subjects may not make it back home to the hive alive. The question is, is she willing to pay the ultimate price so that they might survive?
