This is a world where magic and mortals live together in harmony and peace. But as with all things, when there is light there is also darkness. Fifteen years ago that darkness came out and warred with the light in what became the great war. Many live's lost, many stories ended, and many more left to pick up the pieces. The world thought those troubles were long gone.

They were wrong.

Starlight Glimmer now has the chance of a lifetime as she has been accepted to Canterlot's School for Magic. Only a select few of the population ever get to step behind these walls to practice magic and now she may join them. For her, this is a chance to start anew, meet new friends, discover her codex, and become the mage she always wanted.

But dark secrets lurk and a pending conflict drives fear into the hearts of all students. A new war is brewing, a new age is coming, and for all involved nothing will ever be the same again.
