The queen of the Everfree Kingdom, after years without children, gives birth to two twins. To her horror, the first is a draconequus, a hideous beast with mismatched parts, which she flings out into the forest in shock and disgust.

But when her second son, a perfectly normal and handsome pony, tries to find a bride, the fully-grown draconequus refuses to let him leave until he is married first.

Bride after bride they give him vanishes, until finally, a simple peasant pegasus, Fluttershy, is forced into the role. But perhaps, with some advice from a good friend, she can uncover a hidden heart of the beast.

Based on "The Bride of the Lindorm King".
