Cherry Fizz was secure. In fact, she was spectacular. She had an amazing career, a loving troop of friends, a master's degree in edible synthetics, and a pristine house. Her family was always on her side. So she smiled, chasing a dream that grew closer every day.
But it was all fake. A charade, a way to make herself happy when there wasn't any emotion in life. Just the same thing, over and over again, numbing her senses. The confection business just wasn't her calling, at least not anymore...
Then he came. The one from the alley, the one she saved on the way home from the market. The one who ran away from an execution of the masses, and will plunge the young mare into a world of criminals, dark magic, and an adventure she must never forget.
Silver Lining has a chance. Cherry Fizz has a choice. Neither of them know what they've started.
