Yet the embers of war threaten to rekindle. Faced with a precarious future, a simple Water Tribe girl seeks to restore balance to the world.
Author's Notes: Okay, I realise I’m not the first person to do an Inuyasha AtLA AU. Nor do I expect to be the last. However, this was one of those ideas that just wouldn’t leave me alone. And the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to give it a shot. So here we are. :)

This is going to be a long one. I’m estimating it’s going to run for at least 60 chapters. I'll update this post with a link to the latest chapter as the story progresses.
All of the original characters featured in this story are my own creations. All of the other characters belong to the parties mentioned in the disclaimer.
This story combines various elements of both canons, so there will be some differences between the world this story is set in and the world of Avatar: the Last Airbender. You’ll discover those differences as the story progresses. For now, here’s where it all begins…
