Summary
Ten years have passed since the war. Katara has spent them in near-total, self-imposed isolation on Crescent Island in an attempt to bury the memories of what she endured. Content to be forgotten while the rest of the Gaang rebuilds the world, she has chosen distance from everything she once thought she wanted.║After an assassination attempt leaves Fire Lord Zuko wounded and results in the death of his uncle, he goes to the one place he’d sworn never to return to: her. Reckless with grief and anger, an unravelling Zuko asks Katara to become the Southern Water Tribe’s ambassador in the Imperial City. Faced with the threat of another war breaking out, she has no other choice but to agree. But the longer she remains at court, the more she realises something is deeply wrong. Conspiracies are brewing beneath the surface, stretching across all four nations.║Zuko is not the boy she remembers, but there is something of him in the man she meets now for the first time. He is as obsessive and vengeful as a dragon, hardened by pain and betrayal. And despite everything she knows, despite every reason she gives herself to stay distant, to keep herself and her heart safe, she finds herself drawn back to him anyway. Like a moth to flame.
