The war is finally over.
Peace, they say, has begun.
And with it, the return of a prince no one expected to rule.
The throne is no longer occupied by the powerful tyrant, but rather a young Fire Lord determined to rebuild what his nation destroyed. He speaks of balance. Of restoration. Of doing better.
Funny.
Celia does not believe him.
Daughter of a high-ranking official from one of the former colonies, she has seen too much to trust in words like peace and redemption. And while the world looks to the new Fire Lord to make things right, she chooses a different path.
One that does not rely on promises from a crown that once took everything.
She will rebuild in her own way.
On her own terms.
Far from the Fire Nation.
But when unrest begins to spread, the path she carved for herself is pulled back toward the very center of power she tried to avoid.
Back to the Fire Nation, where she finds herself wondering:
"What can a banished prince, once dismissed as a failure, possibly fix?"
She plans to never come close enough to find out.
