The homeland of the three pony tribes is dying. Winter has lasted for decades but the war has lasted longer. While a great migration is heading west to the new nation of Equestria, there are still many who cling to old grudges and old conflicts in old lands. Amidst this all, a young prince seeks vengeance and power and, above all, a chance to throw off the shackles of his illegitimacy. With a will so ruthless and bloody he will let nothing, not the scorn of his peers, not the endless winter, not the perpetual war, stand in his way.
