Darkness. It is a trait that every being in the universe shares to some extent. Dark thoughts, dark actions, even dark intentions. After an ancient creature is awoken within the ruins of the old Canterlot castle, Rarity and the rest of the ponies will discover that sometimes, the dark, is not to be feared. (Edit: This is a lengthy epic, telling a tale of anger, revenge, pain, love, and redemption. An extra special thanks to Drunk Ragdoll for the wonderful cover art.)
