The Blackest Night has raged across Equestria, and what were once a few sightings of weird monsters here and there around Ponyville has become widespread violence unseen for centuries. Even an alicorn as gentle as Cadence may find herself on the front lines, fighting to save strangers and loved ones. But how long can even an alicorn defy the dread power of Death and Oblivion itself? And when she gets a most unusual offer from one of the now-changed Mane Six, what will she do then?
