From the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender comes the instant USA
Today and New York Times bestselling novel starring Avatar
Kyoshi--now in paperback!
Justice begins with one woman.
After nine years of desperate searching for the next Avatar, the
discovery of young, charming Avatar Yun has brought stability to the
four nations--that is, until Earth Kingdom-born Kyoshi, Yun's unassuming
friend and servant, demonstrates remarkable bending during a mission to
the South Pole. With the identity of the true Avatar at stake and the
growing unrest among her allies turning into violence, Kyoshi is forced
to flee the Avatar mansion with her fiery friend Rangi, taking little
more than the metal war fans and headdress her parents left behind.
It isn't easy finding Avatar training on the run, but Kyoshi and Rangi
find unlikely supporters in the daofei: ragtag criminals and outlaws
living in the shadows of the Earth Kingdom. Torn between following the
traditional path of an Avatar and seeking vengeance for those she has
lost, Kyoshi struggles to accept her newfound power as she trains in
secret. But while Kyoshi, Rangi, and her daofei friends face off
against brutal underworld rivals, those who seek to control the Avatar
draw ever closer to her, leaving trails of the dead in their wake.
The story behind the longest-living Avatar in the history of this
beloved world, The Rise of Kyoshi maps Kyoshi's journey from a girl of
humble origins to the merciless pursuer of justice still feared and
admired centuries after becoming the Avatar.
