Stable Sixteen is no paradise, but it's home to Arioso. He is about to discover that life exists outside the Stable's door and that even he will be asked to stand against the coming storm.

The Wasteland takes everything you have and more, until most are ready to hit the bottle or the next fix of chems just to escape, Stables constructed before the war razed the world in balefire and megaspells were meant to save ponies and find a better way, more often than not they failed…
Stable Sixteen, a repository of knowledge from around the world compiled by Stable-Tec and a safe haven for any sentient creature with the bits to secure a spot, had been sealed for a hundred and fifty years. The door opened to allow a scouting party out to find signs of life, they never returned and the Stable re-sealed.
Forty years have passed and Arioso, a half zebra unicorn gets… volunteered for scouting duty when he quickly becomes wrapped up in a conflict with something that he'd only ever read about in fairy tales…
