Now that we’ve established the secret history Kyoshi was told in her lifetime, I’d like to explore the effects of this history after her death, and how F.C Yee was able to fit this history in with the rest of the already established Avatar timeline.

By the end of these novels we not only know more about the beloved Avatar Kyoshi, but also Avatar Yangchen and Avatar Kuruk. We know next to nothing about these two Avatars before the Kyoshi novels, and it turns out it was intentional. These novels reveal the secret history these Avatars have been trying to conceal. Their actions will affect five Avatar reincarnations and will create one question that shapes their lives as the Avatar—how do you stop someone who has enacted irredeemable violence without resorting to murder?
