Fallout Equestria: Shaping Shadow - Book 4

The Inquisitors have been betrayed. They are unsure who is for them, who is against them, and all they know is that they killed a group of Pegasi who were sanctioned by the Council. Death is what they believe is waiting for them if they head above. Until they can figure out that they are not going to be killed or branded and banished below, they can not risk it.

For now, it is survival. Survival and trying to restore connections with above. Survival means many things. They don't just have to sit around and wait. They can't. They need to keep moving and exploring. Their mission doesn't stop until they get above.

But they are down to half strength after Nor died getting them back to Rosemary, after they murdered the Pillars of the Community. The odds are stacked against them and the are still hunted by Dahlia and others certainly want them dead too.

All that transpired in Book 3 is happening as the Inquisitors fight for their survival.
