After Twilight Sparkle became an Alicorn Princess everything was going to be just fine; and for a time, everything was: Equestria began expanding at an alarming rate, with amazing breakthroughs in technology and lower crime rates everywhere. However, things never stay perfect forever. Little by little, Equestria's rule has become more and more dictatorial, with violence in the streets and ponies mysteriously disappearing for speaking out against Princess Celestia; and Twilight Sparkle is at the centre of it. A stallion named Shining Armor is able to see the truth beneath the layers of deception. He heads to the city of Canterlot to rescue his sister and get her away from all of it. He knows that his sister is in trouble and he will be saving her from a terrible fate, but throughout his adventure, he will uncover a horrifying series of events and a plot that threatens all of Equestria.
