Description
Fire was an element that either commanded respect or consumed fear. Aelita Kenshin had experienced both feelings during her sixteen years of life. A firebending master reduced to nothing but the hollow shell of what she once was, the smell of blood and burnt flesh haunted her every waking moment. The Butcher of Ba Sing Se no longer trusts the power beneath her fingertips, because she killed the last airbender. The entire world believed the Avatar to be dead and nearly all of the Akira's world thought she was too. Forced to leave Aelita behind without even her body to say goodbye to, Aang and the others grapple with the grief that threatens to overwhelm them with only their desire for peace and justice to push them forward. Years had passed since the children of Fire Lord Ozai had pretended that they were a family. Welcomed home as war heroes next to their sister, twin Princes Zuko and Zetzu are thrust back into the game of thrones. Saddled with guilt and anger alike, the two are forced to face the demons that threaten to burn them alive but with tensions rising faster than Sozin's Comet approaches, it soon becomes clear that only one of them can be left to inherit their family's scorched legacy. Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have the desire, will and energy to achieve what they want. Only time will tell if that power and desire will be too much to handle as the fate of the world is forged in fire. Book Three of the series Akira: The Legend of Aelita. Proceeded by Book Two: Carved in Rock, and Book One: Reborn in Water. Now available on A03 under the same titles and username.
