Shigeru has finally awakened from the coma he's been in since Seiko pushed him off the cliff—but he remembers nothing of the incident, nor does he even recognize his assailant. Rather than setting Seiko's mind at ease, however, this only serves to disturb her further.

Meanwhile, Seiichi is determined to keep his promise to his mother—with devastating consequences for everyone around him.

Jade War

2019

by Fonda Lee

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.

Wanderers

2019

by Chuck Wendig

Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other "shepherds" who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.

For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them—and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them—the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart—or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.

Alia believes that by obtaining the secrets of the twins' prophetic visions, she can maintain control over her dynasty.

But Leto and Ghanima have their own plans for their visions—and their destinies....
