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
Bin-Er in the Earth Kingdom on political business, a chance encounter
with an informant named Kavik leads to a wary partnership. Bin-Er 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.
