Two months have passed since Zuko was crowned fire lord and it has been more difficult than he could have imagined. When he invites Sokka and Katara to the fire nation, he unknowingly gives birth to a spark he didn't know existed. How will he deal with his newfound feelings, and what will he have to sacrifice along the way? (May eventually contain smut but there will be a warning if there is any)

A rebel double-crossed. A world fallen. And a relentless enemy who will not rest... Jack Gamble is a shattered man. His lover betrayed him. His contacts in the resistance are scattered. And his best friend may be dead. With the Galilei* Empire closing in, Jack's ship is intercepted by mercenaries under the command of Captain Ben Stone. Can Jack turn Ben to his cause, or will Ben turn him? But Jack can't afford any emotional entanglements. Not now. He has a rebellion to win and a homeworld to reclaim before the planet and its people are lost to the Empire forever. If you like action-packed science fiction adventure with undercover spies, ace pilots, special forces teams, wild battles, and a slow-burn romance, then this space opera is the book for you. *Note: in the early chapters, the Empire was "Corona" and the manuscript hasn't been updated to change that.
