   Summary

   "The heart can learn to love, but a nation destroyed by war cannot wait for the heart to make up its mind."

   The war lasted one hundred years.
   The peace had lasted three, but Fire Lord Zuko was losing it.

   The ministers brought him solutions he did not want.
   "Marry," they said. "Bind the south to the throne. Give the people a future."

   Zuko had spent his whole life fighting against puppet strings. Now they wanted him to pull someone else's.

   He refused.
   Until he met her.
