Skyblaze Stardust hails from a long and accomplished family of the best unicorn jewelry makers in Canterlot. For Skyblaze, however, there’s just one little problem.
Skyblaze is a pegasus, and he’s filled to overflowing with high energy and high expectations.
Even if his family doesn’t entirely understand what it's like to be the odd pony out, they do understand that he wants to be one of the best flyers in Equestria. But being a competitive flyer in a city where image is everything can be challenging, nearly as challenging as being as good as his hero and idol, Rainbow Dash.
With the Young Flyer’s Competition coming up, Skyblaze is determined to prove that a pegasus born to a family of Canterlot unicorns can fly with the best Equestria has to offer. But the competition is stacking up, and when Skyblaze finds out that Rainbow Dash’s personal protégé and longtime friend, Scootaloo, is going to be in the competition, the event’s importance takes on an entirely new dimension. With an automatic invitation to the Wonderbolts’ Academy on the line, Skyblaze must prove that he can beat the best in order to become the best.
