Dark Horse has been on a tear lately with their Avatar: The Last Airbender books, and now it’s time to turn their attention to The Legend of Korra with the new graphic novel Kya and the Secret of the Sand. And not only that, the new book features Aang and Katara’s daughter, Kya.
Written by Kiku Hughes, with art by Alexandria Monik, colors by Diana Sousa, and letter’s by Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt, the 80 page book features a never-before-seen period in the franchise.
Here’s the synopsis, per Dark Horse:
While helping Korra recover in the Southern Water Tribe, Kya shares a story from her youth of a time when she was lost and disconnected from herself, far from home in the Si Wong Desert . . .
Young and untested, Kya leaves her family to seek her purpose in the wider world. Hoping to test herself and help struggling communities, she heads to the Si Wong Desert, where scarce resources and fractured communities are making the fringes of the Earth Kingdom increasingly unstable. Kya, arriving in the community of Liyuan to teach healing and help the struggling community defend itself from bandits, finds that the wounds left from decades of conflict run deep, and may be harder to heal than she first thought.
The Legend of Korra: Kya and the Secret of Sand hits stores on July 28, 2026. Check out the cover below:
