Twilight Sparkle's life has been pretty good. Great friends, caring family, amazing experiences...but what happens when she discovers that this has all been a part of someone's master plan?

Who can she trust? Just how far does this manipulation stem? Who is the mysterious PuppetMaster and what that plan that it has for Twilight Sparkle?

This story does not follow the canon of the rest of my series and is a stand-alone story upon it own.
