"Equestria as you know it, does not exist, Twilight Sparkle."

A few weeks after the royal wedding, Ponyville is gearing up for another visit from the Princess. However, when everypony disappears, Twilight is thrust into a stark reality: the real Equestria is on the brink of war.

The rules have changed. Spies walk among civilians and no one can be trusted. In the end, the fate of millions will ride on one decision. One battle. One unicorn.

Where lies the truth in a web of deceit?

(For those who have been following this fic, I have changed a few aspects of the story and am currently rewriting much of it. I apologize in a advance for the small amount of chapters.)
