Hearth's Warming is a time for friends and family to come together, celebrate harmony, and welcome the new year. Nyx is looking forward to just this as she rides the train to Canterlot with Spike and Twilight. She's going to meet her extended family for the first time and wants nothing more than to make a good impression. Yet, the sheen of the holidays can't hide the trouble caused by meddling grandparents, relentless reporters, and a paranoid uncle.
Can Nightmare Moon, reborn without her hate, ever escape her past?
In the aftermath of Past Sins, Twilight and Nyx go through the things from Nyx's castle bedchamber
Can Spike trust Nyx again after her actions almost got Twilight hung?
Can Nyx find acceptance with her extended family during Hearth's Warming, or will she find the holiday hymns are filled with nothing but hollow promises?
These are Nyx's first hours.
