Sunset Shimmer has faced many demons, both mental and literal. She’s forgiven herself to the path of friendship and has taught others the same like her teachers Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight Sparkle. Sunset has it all but one question has remained in the back of her head since the Memory Stone incident. A deep and nagging question that she’s never considered before until now.

Is the other me in this world still as bad as I was before I accepted friendship?

As Sunset struggles to find the answers, other events have started to play out as the decade awaited Tournament of Champions has arrived. As the four schools of the Canterlot City School District prepare for the upcoming spectacles, Sunset finds the most unexpected volunteer in the Tournament: herself.

With the help of her human and Equestrian friends, Sunset competes in the Tournament in order to meet her human self but at what cost? Can Sunset and her allies compete against the best of the best in the city?

Alliances will be forged, friendships will be tested, relationships will be changed forever, and magic will be changed forever.
