   Summary

   The Siege of the North has failed. The Northern Water Tribe holds many prisoners, pawns to be used to their political advantage.

   Yue knows her duty to her people, and has her own plans for one of the prisoners.

   But a hastily arranged marriage to Prince Zuko does not solve all the problems she wanted it to, and it’s beginning to blur some lines she’s had clear her whole life. It may be too late when she realizes the risk she took that night will affect not only her life and her tribe’s destiny, but the entire world’s fate.
