| "We'll get more into the spiritual side of things. We'll learn more about the Avatar State and the Spirit World." |

Book Two: Spirits (神靈) is the second book of The Legend of Korra, created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. The nomenclature refers to the focus of the season, a conflict involving the Spirit World.
The book debuted on television on September 13, 2013, with a recap of the first book followed by the first two episodes, though the opening episode, "Rebel Spirit", was originally shown to San Diego Comic-Con attendees on July 19, 2013. Spanning fourteen episodes, Book Two concluded on November 22 of the same year. The book also features a two-part special titled "Beginnings", which explores the background of the first Avatar, Wan. It is followed by Book Three: Change.
