Summary
Award-winning author Fonda Lee explodes onto the
adult fantasy scene with JADE CITY, an epic saga reminiscent
of The Godfather
with magic and kungfu, set in an Asia-inspired fantasy
metropolis.
FAMILY IS DUTY. MAGIC IS POWER. HONOR IS EVERYTHING. Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been
mined, traded, stolen, and killed for - and for centuries,
honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used
it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island
from foreign invasion. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies
for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. They care about
nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market,
and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient
tradition has little place in this rapidly changing
nation. When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone - even
foreigners - wield jade, the simmering tension between the
Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The
outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green
Bones - from their grandest patriarch to the lowliest
motorcycle runner on the streets - and of Kekon itself.
Jade City begins an epic tale of family, honor,
and those who live and die by the ancient laws of jade and
blood.
