The world of Avatar: The Last Airbender is a rich fantasy setting that the television series only scratches the surface of. While the upcoming Avatar: Seven Havens will take place long after the events of The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra and feature an all-new incarnation of the Avatar, the lives of previous Avatars have been detailed in the ongoing Chronicles of the Avatar book series. Amazon is currently offering the Chronicles of the Avatar 4-book box set, which includes the first four novels in the series, for just $44.16 (was $80). The books in this collection follow Kyoshi of the Earth Kingdom and Yangchen of the Air Nomads, offering fans a glimpse into the adventures of these previous Avatars and earlier eras of the series’ unique fantasy world.
