Death is an end, and a beginning.

The war between humanity and Equestria is over, but Halberd Wings is left so broken he becomes one more name in the list of suicides.

However, instead of the afterlife promised by his faith, he finds himself in a room with a Diamond Dog named Garen.

A spirit that helps the dead, Garen has to help Halberd to overcome his hatred before moving on. Otherwise, the pony's soul will become something terrible, something evil.

But Halberd is hurt and scarred by war, prejudice and loss. Changing that won't be easy, even knowing that his soul is at stake.
