Summary
Nearly four years have passed since the Hundred Year War ended. But unrest still lurks in the aftermath and there are whispers of a revolt on the horizon. Under increasing political pressures and the necessity of an heir, Zuko chooses to marry Mai, leaving Katara heartsick and broken. In a moment of lovelorn recklessness, she seeks out the one most fluent in manipulating Zuko, who might help her coax him back to her side: Ozai.
But Ozai’s help comes with a price. Parched with the thirst for vengeance, he has dreamed of nothing more than retribution on the Avatar. In prison those dreams would ever remain dreams, and even then, it could only be possible with the help of a waterbender—one who, by some stroke of fortune, has shown up on a silver platter.
Katara’s plan goes horribly awry and careens her down a far different path, fraught with untold dangers. Along the way, she discovers there is more to Ozai beneath his hard shell of armor, that his heart of stone may once have ached and bled. As a natural healer, she is drawn to broken people, her deepest instinct to save those who are suffering.
But trying to save a man at war with himself is its own kind of violence.

Summary
A few years into his reign, Fire Lord Zuko finds himself facing a wholly unexpected challenge – a growing movement demanding the execution of his father. Though steadfast in his commitment to upholding the Avatar’s designated punishment, Zuko finds himself struggling with the scale of those crying for Ozai’s blood. Not only is he assailed by representatives from the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes, but an incredible number of his own citizens have their reasons for wishing death upon the fallen Phoenix King.
An incident of startling violence forces Zuko to remove his father from prison and have him secretly relocated. Caught between the remnants of New Ozai Society revisionists and those willing to defy their new Fire Lord in order to carry out a dark vision of justice, Zuko enlists the help of a soldier from Iroh's past, desperate for someone neutral enough to trust with his father's life.
But Ozai isn't as helpless as he seems, and the woman duty-bound to protect him might actually be the one in greatest danger.
Set after the comics.
