Twilight Sparkle has always tried to stay in the shadows, ignoring the daily insults and humiliations. But when the bullies of Canterlot High cross the line, her life turns into a nightmare. No place is safe. No one seems to notice what’s happening.

Until the day everything changes.

When Twilight reappears after an event that should have broken her, she is no longer the same. Her eyes are hollow, her smile is gone, and darkness surrounds her.

Midnight Sparkle is born.

And this time, she won’t be the one afraid.
