Dark Horse Comics, in collaboration with Avatar Studios and Avatar Legends co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, presents The Legend of Korra: Kya and the Secret of the Sand, a brand-new tale about Aang and Katara’s daughter, Kya. It is written by Eisner-nominated graphic novelist Kiku Hughes (Displacement), illustrated by Alexandria Monik (The Legend of Korra: Mystery of Penquan Island), colored by Diana Sousa (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins) and lettered by Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt (Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest).
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 saga will be told July 28, 2026, when The Legend of Korra: Kya and the Secret of the Sand arrives in comics shops and bookstores. It is now available for preorder from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comics shop and bookstore for $13.99.
