Summary
It's been five years since the end of the Hundred Year War, and Fire Lord Zuko is desperately trying to restore relations with the other nations while simultaneously attempting to build back the Fire Nation in a post-conflict world. In the midst of this responsibility, the firebender's yearning to locate and bring his mother home has slowly eaten away at his sanity.
Spurred by anguish and longing, Zuko comes to a bitter agreement with his imprisoned father, the nation's most notorious war criminal - a chance for temporary freedom in exchange for information on his mother's whereabouts. As a precaution, Zuko does not plan to travel the world with his father alone - he attempts to recruit the Avatar's waterbending master, Katara, to join him on this secret and downright impossible search, as his wife assumes temporary rule in his stead. It's two against one. Nothing could go wrong, could it?
Toggling between the perspectives of all three characters, this journey captures the grit, desperation, nuance, and bubbling desire of truly different but equally broken individuals.
