Jade War, the sequel to the World Fantasy Award-winning novel Jade City, continues the tale of the Kaul siblings and their battle for honor and control over an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is entrenched in a violent feud for dominance of the capital city and the coveted supply of magical jade that grants trained Green Bone warriors extraordinary powers.

As the conflict intensifies beyond Kekon's shores, powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins covet the island's jade, seeing it as a key to wealth and power. The Kauls face mounting threats from all directions, compelling them to forge new and perilous alliances, face adversaries in the most shadowy corners and the highest echelons of power, and set aside honor to do whatever is necessary to secure their family's survival—and that of all Green Bones in Kekon.

Jade War is the second book in the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy weaving a narrative of family, honor, and the unyielding ties that bind through the ancient laws of blood and jade.
