synopsis
After destruction in their city, dangerous criminals attacking their family, and the return of old ghosts, it’s time to rebuild for Republic City…and for Lin and Jia. After learning to trust and open up, after healing so much, they’ve both come to accept that sometimes, people do indeed stayβand mean to stay for life.
For Lin and Jia, it’s time to build something new together.
Or: A soft romance about growing beyond old wounds and making a new life.
Featuring Lin Beifong having the partner she deserves, bonding with the family she has found, finding new fun in life, and creating a future she never thought she could have…all in the three years of Korra’s absence and quite a while afterwards.
Volume 1 was the longest slow burn ever. Time for the payoff that I always promised, because healing was only the beginning.
