Avatar: The Reckoning of Roku – now released in bookstores

A new Avatar novel has been released, written by National Book Award finalist Randy Ribay.

The novel will be available in hardcover, digital, and audiobook formats.

It is the first novel featuring Avatar Roku and the fifth entry in the Chronicles of the Avatar series. From the synopsis:

Having been announced as the new Avatar, Roku struggles to grasp basic airbending principles—even after months of training under Sister Disha, his airbending master. When his best friend Fire Lord Sozin requests the new Avatar’s aid in preventing the Earth Kingdom from claiming a remote Fire Nation island, it doesn’t surprise Roku that Sister Disha advises him to decline. Roku steals away with the help of an irritating young Airbender named Gyatso. As the reluctant companions delve deeper into their wayward mission, they realize the fog-shrouded island harbors a secret that could lead to catastrophe in the wrong hands. Roku must learn where to place his trust and what it means to be a spirit of no nation . . . even if the lesson comes at a great personal cost.
