They have all followed separate paths since the Hundred Year War, and each has grown into adulthood while shaping humanity in unique ways. Though his companions look eagerly toward the future, Avatar Aang struggles to do the same. Instead, he finds himself drawn to the past, making long journeys to the abandoned Air Temples to collect what is left of his culture in a world that has already begun to move on.When a group of violent non-benders attack the Avatar at the Southern Air Temple and steal a mysterious relic, they set in motion a race across the world for a legendary power that threatens to destabilize the fragile balance Aang worked so hard to achieve. And so Aang reassembles his team: Sokka, now an ingenious inventor helping to rebuild his home in the Southern Water Tribe; Toph, who teaches metalbending to a new generation; Zuko, whose leadership has steered the Fire Nation to an era of peace; and Katara, a leader in the young multicultural metropolis of Republic City. Together, the group traverses the globe to sites that have been abandoned for millennia, where they learn of ancient Avatars, meet powerful spirits, and uncover dangerous new abilities, one of which could grant Avatar Aang's deepest wish: to save the Air Nomad culture from extinction.Though his team's collective hopes are great, Aang must confront whether his lifelong dream might become the very thing that destroys him—and the new world he has built.

"Poet, dreamer, and exotic apparition . . ."—this is a graphic novel about the colorful life of modernist pioneer Marc Chagall The artist Marc Chagall (1887–1985) once described painting as "a window through which I could fly into another world"—which is just what he did. He grew up Jewish in the so-called Pale of Settlement (now Belarus) in the Russian Empire, relocating to Paris in 1910, at the height of the belle epoque, and then served an uncomfortable time as an art commissar in Bolshevik Russia. He would spend his long lifetime outrunning and outliving a succession of oppressive regimes (Tsarist, Soviet, Fascist, Nazi) as numerous as the art movements he absorbed (surrealist, fauvist, symbolist, modernist) and the range of media he both liberated and illuminated. In his ceramics, stained glass, tapestry—above all, in his paintings—Chagall brought the freedom of his "colors of love" to a stark world that is too often too dark.Acclaimed for his graphic biographies of Hockney (2023), Van Gogh (2024), and Kusama (2025), Simon Elliott returns with a triumphant portrait of perhaps the greatest colorist (and therefore optimist) of them all.
