Six months have passed since Twilight and her companions returned from Mareitania, battered and broken, but sure that every scar, both physical and emotional was worth it after having successfully freed the country from the tyrannical rule of its Duchy. Although things hadn't gone entirely smoothly, the country could now enter a time of unprecedented peace, the likes of which it had never experienced before.
Or at least that was the hope.
Unsettling stirrings from within Mareitania suggest things aren't as tranquil as was hoped, and may in fact be a prelude to something far worse than anypony could have ever expected.
Highly recommend you read Fall of Mareitania: Operation FreeMare first (if you can stomach the earlier chapters) or you really won't know what's going on.
Character tags will be added during the story.
