The Dragon Lands have always been a very turbulent nation, with dragon lords constantly having to watch out for usurpers. Ember is no exception, as many dragons doubt the validity of her rise to power. One dragon will rise from the shade, to fan the flames of doubt and turn the nation against her. And most surprisingly, they'll be using the power of friendship to put an end to her controversial leadership.

Note: This fanfic works on the assumption, that the last three seasons never happened.
