The stories we tell our children are often far from the truth. Over time, history becomes twisted, condensed, and re-written until what we have left is more myth than fact, and the story of Nightmare Moon is no exception. Now, pieced together from collected documents, diaries, and correspondence, Dr. Twilight Sparkle presents the first accurate history of the events leading up to Princess Luna's mysterious transformation and banishment over 1000 years ago.
