Jasper Shale is a friend from Twilights past as a student of magical lore in Canterlot. His mediocre magical gifts saw him drafted into mandatory military service during the advent of the Griffon Wars several years ago, a brutal war that lasted three bloody years. The war has since been over for years, and now Jasper is trying to find a place in the world where his mind can heal from the horrors inflicted on him, and those he inflicted on others.

Unbeknownst to Twilight, however, Jasper carries with him a much darker secret from those three years. One which even the Princess has tried to ensure will never be told, but will the ghosts of war come back to haunt Jasper and his new-found friends?
