Soon after returning home following the events of The Search, Fire Lord Zuko discovers that a rebel organization calling itself the New Ozai Society has slowly gained traction among the Fire Nation's citizens. Its goal? Assassinate Zuko and restore Ozai to the throne, before the country perishes! Laying evidence to their claim of a nation at risk are the shadowy Kemurikage - figures originating in myth who are kidnapping children across the Fire Nation. As fear takes root in the capital, Zuko, Mai, and their families become entangled in a dangerous plot executed by someone they least expect.
