An all-new stand-alone Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel!

Kiyi, half-sister to Fire Lord Zuko, enrolls at the Royal Fire Academy for Girls! Known for its strict curriculum and even stricter instructors, Zuko worries for Kiyi.


When things take a turn for the worse and a seed of doubt about the new headmistress is planted, Zuko takes action by installing one of the people he trusts most, Mai, as an academy teacher. Can Mai keep a watchful eye over Kiyi and keep her on the right path, or will the academy’s cruel culture shape her footsteps into those of her other half-sibling, Azula? 

Faith Erin Hicks, Peter Wartman, and Adele Matera are back with another new adventure in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Written in consultation with the co-creators of the animated series, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko!
