Set after the events of the first Mare-Do-Well story, this fic follows the more intricate and methodical uprising of the caped hero against an unjust despotism; Everfree City. Formerly the Royal City of Canterlot, this society has now become a grim totalitarian world, ruled over by the most powerful criminals in Equestria, who have taken the city through their underhand methods and made themselves the dictators. Mare-Do-Well's only option to defeat a city-wide criminal empire is to use new tactics and to raise the civilian majority against the dictating minority.

A direct continuation from Mare-Do-Well: Genesis. It is recommended that you read that fic first before moving onto this one.
