Shining Armor returns to Canterlot to report on the continued peace within the Crystal Empire, though he does not come alone. Beside him stands a little white filly; his daughter. She is called Starlight, and she is the first Alicorn to be born in Equestria's recent history.
Without a cutie mark, this charming and determined little filly looks to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns to discover her true talent and passion in life; a choice which catches the eye of Princess Luna, who sees true potential in the little princess. Perhaps it is time for Luna to take on her own student.
Will little Star rise to meet her glory as did Twilight Sparkle under Celestia's teaching? Or will she fall to the same evil that Luna herself did?
