Summary
Until the day Sokka died, he knew he'd remember the cool gaze of the leopard-caribou as she looked upon him in his bank of snow. It hadn't been a malicious look, just a calculating one. She needed a meal, and she cared no more whether or not he was afraid than he’d cared whether the seal his father brought back from the beach in spring had felt fear before it died.
The stranger in the water had eyes like that now.
Sokka finds himself shipwrecked, stranded with no way home. When an impossible predator shows up to take advantage of an easy meal, Sokka must use all his wits to keep him distracted... and survive long enough to get back home for his sister's wedding.

Summary
[“It is a good thing to have, armor,” Uncle murmurs, shaking his head as he looks at the damage to the backplate that was probably from…the third time going through a wall, maybe, and Zuko knows he’s concussed when he nearly responds you have no idea out loud before managing to yank that thought back, too.
Zuko knows all about plausible deniability, after all.]
OR,
Zuko keeps meeting the warrior again and again. Keeps crashing into the warrior. Literally, sometimes.
And he knows he should be focusing on the Avatar, on regaining his honor, on what he's supposed to do. But from Kyoshi Island to the Earth Kingdom flats to Ba sing Se, somehow Sok—somehow the warrior is always there. Masked and hooded, fighting and grappling, straining for position, sometimes the only touch Zuko knows until he has it again.
Which is the only reason Zuko can’t stop thinking about it, of course. The only reason he can't get it out of his head. The only reason he can't stop wondering how much further they can go and still call what they're doing fighting.

Summary
After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.
Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.
Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)
Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.
Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

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.
