When magic nearly vanished off the face of Equestria, the land fell into turmoil. As technology rose to replace magic, ten megacorporations rose along with it to seize control. Then came the Shadowmare movement, and then the magic came back...

After his first mission went south, Griff hardly expected to be promoted. But in the cutthroat mercenary business, the ability to stay alive is a talent all of it's own.

Of course, any job that sounds easy is never what it seems.
