The Kaul siblings' battle with rival clans reaches new heights in the heart-pounding continuation of the Green Bone Saga, anĀ epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.
On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they alone have possessed for hundreds of years.
Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals.
Faced with threats on all sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survivalāand that of all the Green Bones of Kekon.

A sharp and insightful new voice
OMG. Take my money.Ā I have loved everything Fonda Lee has written and this new book has me salivating

Stylish and action-packed,Ā full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves,Ā Jade CityĀ is anĀ epic dramaĀ reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but takes place in a fantasy metropolisĀ so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book
