Summary
Zuko first feels it when he's thirteen, fire engulfing his face. A nagging pull, beckoning him far away from this awful place.
Alternately, the sun spirit Agni gave Zuko life as an infant. It's time to repay that favor.

Summary
The crew is broke.
They don’t have enough money, or enough supplies, or enough rum in the galley, and Zuko is their captain. Uncle says they’ll figure something out at the next port, and that he should not worry about it because he’s “fourteen” and “too young” to do so.
(He has never been too young for this. If he were too young, then he wouldn’t be scarred and scared and scouring the scorched globe for a century-old legend, and his father would be telling him to come home.)
At the next port, he slips into town with another face plastered upon his own and two silver swords hefted across his back, and seeks gold.
or: zuko learns and relearns, trespasses earth kingdom territory, commits contrary treason through paid murder, and gains friends.

Summary
The first overcast day of the year in the Fire Nation is the day that its prince is slaughtered by his father. Across rice paddies, farmers forget their veils inside, and sailors need not squint to read their maps. It is, by most accounts, a peaceful day across the country.
However, the prince himself has not passed on to the spirit world. He is not ready to rest.

Zuko wakes up.
And Zhao, the incompetent, honourless bastard, hurt the wrong fish.
[[Alternate Universe, where Agni, Tui, and La become involved in the lives of mortals. Zhao wounds the Ocean spirit, not the moon. And more importantly: Yue lives, which changes everything.]]

Summary
Ozai said he'd killed Iroh. So when he shot lightning at Zuko- the lightning came back. Azula's fire broke when she saw Ozai dead- Zuko promised to fix things.
Everyone is confused about where the Fire Nation troopes are going.
Zuko is Fire Lord. Everyone is kind of confused about that too.- Language:

Summary
Zuko tries.
Agni, he tries. Uncle wants so desperately for him to do the right thing, and he wants to, he does, he does, he does-
So when the Water Tribe girl looks at him with wild eyes, begging for help, and Azula raises one eyebrow with a sneer, Zuko chooses.
Azula’s scream of anger when he blasts a fireball in her direction is almost worth the twenty Dai Li agents that immediately surround him.
(or: Zuko is taken prisoner by Azula in the catacombs. Turns out, being kept miles away from the sun isn't so great for your bending.)

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

Summary
Book one ends with two major diffrences: 1. Sokka went on the mission with Hahn (it did not go well) 2. Zhao survives the North Pole and that proves unfortunate for everybody (except Zhao, obviously)
Imprisoned on Zhao’s war ship, Sokka and Zuko have to work together to survive. They are not very enthusiastic about this prospect.
And they argue.
A lot.

Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

Behind the walls, Zuko loses sleep, runs errands, contemplates treason, and drinks a lot of hot leaf juice—not necessarily in that order.
