Kiyan never expected to be the Avatar.
And now that she is, she's finding she never even wanted to be. She's used to her old life as a simple waterbender, with no great spiritual burdens or destinies or whatever nonsense this Avatar business has suddenly forced on her. Now, she's constantly on the run from the crazy lunatics who murdered the last two Avatars, and who've made it their mission to end the Cycle entirely.
In an attempt to finally get her out of their reach, her protectors decide that a time machine is the way to go, and send her back to 130AG, to Republic City to seek mentoring from Avatar Aang himself.
There's just one tiny problem.
She's thirty years off target.
Kiyan decides to wait out the end of the Hundred Years War in a little Earth Kingdom village with the family who's been kind enough to take her in. After all, she's safe there, and she never asked for this whole Avatar deal anyway.
Unfortunately, fate has other plans, and her masterful strategy for avoiding danger is thrown into chaos with the arrival of a familiar scarred swordsman.

*This is the SECOND book of the "Daughter of the Moon" series, so go read "Book One: Water" if you haven't already*
Elara finds herself on the run with Prince Zuko and General Iroh as they scramble out of the clutches of both the Fire Nation and the rest of the world, adopting a new identity to hide her tracks. As she lives her life on the run, she can't help but feel herself growing closer to Zuko; closer in a way that she never thought possible. Perhaps she could settle down and live a simple life away from the war. Perhaps she could turn away from her duties as the Little Moon, and perhaps she could force herself forget about Katara, Aang, and more importantly, Sokka, so that she could live the normal life she deserved...
Only the spirits know that life never goes the way one plans...

The characters and events of this story are based on the brilliant workings of Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino. Therefore, I do not own the characters and events used other than Elara and her adventure.
