Michael Dante DiMartino

An instant USA Today and New York Times bestseller, F.C. Yee’s Avatar, the Last Airbender:The Rise of Kyoshi delves into the story of Kyoshi, the Earth Kingdom–born Avatar. Written in consultation with Michael Dante DiMartino, the visionary cocreator and executive producer of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra animated TV series. The longest-living Avatar in this beloved world’s history, Avatar Kyoshi established the brave and respected Kyoshi Warriors, but she also founded the secretive Dai Li, which led to the corruption, decline, and fall of her own nation. The first of two novels based on Avatar Kyoshi in the Chronicles of the Avatar series, The Rise of Kyoshi maps her journey from a girl of humble origins to the merciless pursuer of justice who is still feared and admired centuries after she became the Avatar. “Yee artfully weaves in political entanglements as well as complex cultural identities to fully immerse readers in Kyoshi's world. . . . An action-packed tale that answers some long-awaited questions; fans will look forward to the promised sequel.”—Kirkus Reviews

"Book 1 - If you love Avatar: The Last Airbender then you will love this series! Learn more about the story of Kyoshi the earth avatar before Aang. "

Nicole Sinders

"As someone who grew up with ATLA, this was a good addition to the series in book form. A little more violent than the original series (more along the lines of LOK), but it is Kyoshi's backstory."

Fynn

"Very different but I’m reading the Midnight Library right now "

Bailey Lawson

"THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. If you ever wondered about how Kyoshi became to be, then give this a read!!"

"Absolutely fabulous addition to the Avatar Universe and it makes me wish they did a TV series for this as well. The writing flows beautifully with the universe we already know and love, and in no way takes away from it or tries to change it. Kyoshi has always been one of my faves and this only deepened my love. Watching her growth was inspiring, and only reiterated that each Avatars path is different. Some come to it easily, while others must study hard and learn the hard way."
