The Prince of the Fire Nation

Zuko was raised in the Fire Nation royal family alongside his sister Azula. He has never known anything outside the palace, his family, or his homeland. But his life is forever changed when a chance encounter with two slaves reveals his true heritage. And along his journey, Zuko learns that his destiny is far greater – and more painful – than he ever could've imagined.
