The once peaceful land of Equestria now stands at the brink of chaos. The Dark King of the Crystal Empire, King Sombra commands the greatest army this world has ever seen. Through sword and tyranny, they plundered, slaughtered and enslaved without mercy or remorse. Leaving behind nothing but a war swept wasteland of death, destruction and decay.

Ambushed and her escorts slain by deserters of the Gryphon Kingdom, Princess Luna finds a savior in the most unlikely of souls. A lone swordsman, a nameless vagabond she affectionately names Wander. Unwillingly chartered into her service as her personal bodyguard, the unlikely pair forms a special bond along their journey to the Gryphon Kingdom. Little did the young Princess know of the unforeseen events that will set the old ronin on bloody warpath against the invading hordes, old enemies and the scars of a past he longs to forget.
