Since the beginning of time, Destiny paved the road to the future. Long ago, in an age forgotten, a climactic event threw nature out of balance. Inheritors of the world wrestled for control of the elements, Chaos reigned, but in time, Harmony reigned. Destiny resumed its position, and it is the immortal alicorns, gifted by the universe itself, who shine the way.

It is when individuals stray from the path of Destiny, that this gentle balance is once again threatened.

And it is in a distant corner of the world, governed by primeval magic and unbound by the common laws of her world, that Twilight Sparkle and her friends seek to free a pony cursed with the inability to die. But she will soon discover that far greater, more insidious forces are at play.

Against a backdrop of fairness and justice, victory and loss, fate and freedom, Equestria and the world it unites are forced to endure the greatest conflict in the universe:

The Mortal Game.
