For years, fans of the animated series (*Avatar: The Last Airbender* and *The Legend of Korra*) have been burned with one question - What happened to Zuko's mother? Finding a clue at last, Fire Lord Zuko enlists the aid of Team Avatar - and the most unlikely ally of all - to help uncover the biggest secret of his life. An Earth Kingdom Scholar's points of view about "family" and *governing with dignity* motivates Zuko to set things right within his own family. He makes a deal with Azula, releasing her from the mental institution in exchange for her help on his quest to discover the truth about their mother, Ursa. Additionally, with the help of Aang, Sokka, and Katara, the five set out on a journey towards Ursa's hometown. Tensions between Azula and the rest stir trouble and an encounter with a wolf spirit delays them even more, though as they continue, they find their own dynamic to make it all work.
Ever since the conclusion of Avatar: The Last Airbender, its millions of fans have been hungry for more - and it''s finally here!

Besides the political turmoil, personal drama erupts - as the Fire Lord also needs to face his ex-girlfriend, Mai.
From Dark Horse: When Aang leaves to aid Fire Lord Zuko with spiritual affairs in the Fire Nation, Katara and Sokka return to the Southern Water Tribe by themselves, where they are shocked to discover that their village has become a bustling city, with Hakoda in charge. The changes seem to have largely been due to the efforts of Malina, a member of the Northern Water Tribe who is seemingly striving for greater unification of the Water Tribes, but has unknown intentions.
When Team Avatar return to Earthen Fire Industries, the factory owned by Toph’s father, they find that the once small town is now booming, yet a strange mood hangs over its residents. When Aang is asked to join a business council meeting, the reason becomes clear: a massive bender versus non-bender conflict is threatening to turn violent.
