Disgraced by her family for a bastard pregnancy she did not intend, a young Fire Nation mother flees to the outskirts of the Water Tribe, seeking refuge with a young fisherman and his wife. The woman has her child in secret, but insists that the couple adopt the baby as their own. Reluctantly, the couple agrees, and the Fire Nation woman disappears, never to be seen again.
The baby, named Anahi by her adoptive parents, is raised under the protection of the Water Tribe. But as the child grows older, she realizes that she is not like her peers, and carries a hidden talent that could mean destroying everything that she knows.
