    Summary

    Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.

    Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly turns into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.

    But in their cramped apartment, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

    Summary

    When the Fire Lord reluctantly agrees to vacation with his very caring but persistent ambassador, neither anticipate how deeply Ember Island will unsettle the careful balance between them. As the Festival for the Autumnal Equinox - honoring endings, beginnings, and the cyclic nature of all things - sweeps across the island, emotions rise with the mounting heat as old flames return like the tide.

    What begins as an innocent getaway, quickly spirals into a storm of shifting relationships and inescapable truths.

    Summary

    A Soul Mark could be left for any kind of love—familial, friendly, romantic, pure, fantastical. Each color represented a different bond between the people that touched skin-to-skin. The colors stayed the same until the death of that person. Then, the Soul Mark would turn grey.

    Katara had never seen someone without Soul Marks.

    But Zuko’s skin didn’t have colors—it only had scars.
