From the New York Times bestselling author of Avatar, the Last Airbender: The
Rise of Kyoshi and Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Shadow of Kyoshi comes a
thrilling new chapter in the Chronicles of the Avatar series Yangchen's
inexperience may prove to be her greatest asset . . . Plagued by the voices of
Avatars before her for as long as she can remember, Yangchen has not yet
earned the respect felt for Avatar Szeto, her predecessor. In an era where
loyalty is bought rather than earned, she has little reason to trust her
counsel. When Yangchen travels to BinEr in the Earth Kingdom on political
business, a chance encounter with an informant named Kavik leads to a wary
partnership. BinEr is a city ruled by corrupt shang merchants who have become
resentful of the mercurial Earth King and his whims. To extract themselves
from his influence, the shangs have one solution in mind: a mysterious weapon
of mass destruction that would place power squarely in their hands. As
Yangchen and Kavik seek to thwart the shangs' plan, their unlikely friendship
deepens. But for Yangchen to chart her course as a singularly powerful Avatar,
she must learn to rely on her own wisdom above all else. This propulsive third
installment in the Chronicles of the Avatar series illuminates Avatar
Yangchen's journey from uncertain young woman to revered leader.
"Kyoshi's place as the true Avatar has finally been cemented--but at a heavy cost. With her mentors gone, Kyoshi voyages to the Southern Air Temple, where she can master the elements beyond what she could have ever imagined. But while her bending grows stronger, a mysterious threat emerges from the Spirit World. To stop it, Kyoshi, Rangi, the daofei, and their reluctant allies must join forces before the four nations are destroyed irreparably"--
When Kyoshi demonstrates remarkable bending during a mission to the South Pole and is marked as the true Avatar, she is forced to flee, torn between following the traditional path of an Avatar and seeking vengeance for those she has lost.
