Jade City is an epic tale of family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of jade and blood. Set in the bustling metropolis of Kekon, jade is the most precious commodity, enhancing the abilities of the honorable Green Bone warriors. The Kaul family has long used it to protect the island from invasion. But as a new generation vies for power, they face not only their rivals but also a changing world.

When a revolutionary drug allows anyone to wield jade's power, the city's delicate balance is shattered, leading to a violent clan war that will determine the fate of all Green Bones. Fonda Lee crafts a narrative that is as gripping as it is immersive, inviting readers into a world where the lines between right and wrong are as complex as the city of Kekon itself.

The House by the River is the first novel by acclaimed Greek writer Lena Manta to appear in English translation. It is an intimate, emotionally powerful saga that follows five young women as they come to realize that no matter the men they choose, the careers they pursue, or the children they raise, the only constant is home.

Theodora, a devoted and resilient mother, knows she can’t keep her five beautiful daughters at home forever—they’re too curious, too free-spirited, too much like their late father. Before each girl leaves the small house on the riverside at the foot of Mount Olympus, Theodora ensures they know they are always welcome to return.

Having lived through World War II, the Nazi occupation of Greece, her husband’s death, and now enduring the twenty-year-long silence of her daughters’ absence, Theodora remains hopeful. Her children have embarked on their own journeys—marrying, traveling the world, and courting romance, fame, and even tragedy. Despite becoming modern, independent women in pursuit of their dreams, Theodora understands they need her—and each other—more than ever. Have they grown so far apart that they’ve forgotten their childhood house in its tiny village, or will their broken hearts finally lead them home?

Forty Autumns is an illuminating and deeply moving memoir that goes beyond traditional Cold War espionage tales. This true story, told by a former American military intelligence officer, reveals the experiences of her family—five women separated by the Iron Curtain for more than forty years, culminating in their miraculous reunion after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

At twenty, Hanna escaped from East to West Germany. But the price of freedom—leaving behind her parents, eight siblings, and family home—was heartbreaking. Uprooted, Hanna eventually moved to America, where she settled down with her husband and had children of her own.

Growing up near Washington, D.C., Hanna’s daughter, Nina Willner, became the first female Army Intelligence Officer to lead sensitive intelligence operations in East Berlin at the height of the Cold War. Though only a few miles separated American Nina and her German relatives—grandmother Oma, Aunt Heidi, and cousin Cordula, a member of the East German Olympic training team—a bitter political war kept them apart.

In Forty Autumns, Nina recounts her family’s story—five ordinary lives buffeted by circumstances beyond their control. She takes us deep into the tumultuous and terrifying world of East Germany under Communist rule, revealing both the cruel reality her relatives endured and her own experiences as an intelligence officer, running secret operations behind the Berlin Wall that put her life at risk.

This is a personal look at a tenuous era that divided a city and a nation, and continues to haunt us. Forty Autumns is an intimate and beautifully written story of courage, resilience, and love—of five women whose spirits could not be broken, and who fought to preserve what matters most: family.

There could only be a few winners, and a lot of losers. And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones.

In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant — and that her lover is married — she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.

Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty.
