The stories we tell our children are often far from the truth. Over time, history becomes twisted, condensed, and re-written until what we have left is more myth than fact, and the story of Nightmare Moon is no exception. Now, pieced together from collected documents, diaries, and correspondence, Dr. Twilight Sparkle presents the first accurate history of the events leading up to Princess Luna's mysterious transformation and banishment over 1000 years ago.

Rainbow Dash has become a Wonderbolt, and not just any Wonderbolt, the best of the Wonderbolts. The best of Equestria. The best of the world. But ten years of fame and fortune have stolen away the life she once knew, and the friends she once loved. Nothing, however, is set in stone.

Now she has a choice. She can let the glaring sun force her back into her rut, or she can step out and search for the one thing she just can't seem to find: happiness.

It's amazing what a difference ten years can make.

Heroes have become villains, benevolent leaders now exercise their will on a whimsy, and a world of love and tolerance is just a pin drop away from an armed conflict the likes of which would make world wars pale in comparison. The balance of power is shifting, and every opportunistic pony in Equestria is more than willing to seize what might be their one chance at forging their way into the annals of history.

Twelve plans have already been set into motion, leaving a world's fate in the hooves of a washed-up former engineer, and a failed protege lost in the shadow of her past.
