The Silence had lasted on Auris for almost two hundred winters, and now it is finally over. But the Silence's ending didn't bring the answers everypony wanted. Instead, it only brought about a new age of violence and bloodshed on the forgotten colony world. Forces scramble to gather the pieces of the Code scattered throughout the continent, knowing that the power of the old Equestrian Synarchy could be theirs if they can successfully decipher it.
Ember, now a member of the Sentinels and tasked with tracking down the pieces of the Code for her allies, has left the Valley behind for the first time in her life. With her friends at her side, it's up to her to recover the pieces before the Ivory City can get its hooves on any more. But Auris is a big and terrifying world, filled with danger at every turn, and not just from the ponies who live there. Can three friends so far from their home survive all on their own? Or will Auris chew them up and spit them out like so many ponies before them?
Equestria and the vile Synarchy that took its place long ago may be dead, but that doesn't mean that the Magic of Friendship cannot take root on a colony light years away...
