    Summary

    General Iroh, the Dragon of the West, Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, never lost his heir during the siege of Ba Sing Se. Lu Ten, at the age of 18, survives and wants to make a name for himself. He heads to the South Pole, commanding the Southern Raiders to occupy and colonize a small coastal village where he runs into a young waterbending girl, Katara.

    As Zuko grows, he learns what it means to love a waterbending girl that is irretrievably tied to another.

    As Katara grows, she learns what it means to stay true to your roots and to be loyal to those you meet along the way.

    As Lu Ten grows, he struggles with protecting his legacy and his ascension to the throne.
