![]() ![]() 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. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation. ![]() They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. ![]() Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. 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. Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. – Ken Liu, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards and author of The Grace of Kings and The Paper Menagerie and Other StoriesįAMILY IS DUTY. "Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is an epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book." ![]()
