From the New York Times bestselling author of Avatar, the Last
Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi and Avatar, the Last Airbender: The
Shadow of Kyoshi comes a thrilling new chapter in the Chronicles of
the Avatar series Yangchen's inexperience may prove to be her
greatest asset . . . Plagued by the voices of Avatars before her
for as long as she can remember, Yangchen has not yet earned the
respect felt for Avatar Szeto, her predecessor. In an era where
loyalty is bought rather than earned, she has little reason to
trust her counsel. When Yangchen travels to BinEr in the Earth
Kingdom on political business, a chance encounter with an informant
named Kavik leads to a wary partnership. BinEr is a city ruled by
corrupt shang merchants who have become resentful of the mercurial
Earth King and his whims. To extract themselves from his influence,
the shangs have one solution in mind: a mysterious weapon of mass
destruction that would place power squarely in their hands. As
Yangchen and Kavik seek to thwart the shangs' plan, their unlikely
friendship deepens. But for Yangchen to chart her course as a
singularly powerful Avatar, she must learn to rely on her own
wisdom above all else. This propulsive third installment in the
Chronicles of the Avatar series illuminates Avatar Yangchen's
journey from uncertain young woman to revered leader.
A teenage girl stumbles out of an alley in Ottawa, concussed, with
no memory of her life. Fleeing sword-wielding operatives with
inexplicable mental abilities, she soon learns that her name is
Zoe, and that she not only possesses the same abilities, but is
extraordinarily skilled in martial arts. As she scours Toronto for
clues about her identity, she finds others like her, and is given
refuge at the Academy, an international school for Telepaths. As
fragments of her childhood return, she begins to suspect that she
may not like who she once was-that she may be part of a shadowy
organization more powerful than anyone suspects, and that she will
soon be swept up in events that are thousands of years in the
making.
