On the island of Kekon, the powerful Kaul family is ensnared in a fierce and deadly conflict for dominance over the capital city's precious resource - jade. This mystical mineral imparts extraordinary abilities to the revered Green Bone warriors, who have guarded its secrets and wielded its power for generations. As the Kaul clan battles their sworn enemies on the streets and in the boardrooms, the stakes have never been higher.

Beyond Kekon's shores, the threat of war looms large. The allure of jade has captured the attention of powerful foreign governments and ruthless criminal syndicates. Each seeks to exploit Kekon's most coveted resource to amass wealth and gain an unassailable edge over their adversaries. The island nation teeters on the brink of chaos, with enemies closing in from all sides.

Amidst this turmoil, the Kaul family must navigate treacherous waters. They are compelled to forge perilous alliances, confront adversaries in the most dangerous alleys and the loftiest skyscrapers, and at times, set aside their deeply ingrained sense of honour. With everything to lose, they must do whatever it takes to ensure their survival and preserve the legacy of the Green Bones.

Jade War is the gripping second instalment in the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy that explores themes of family, honour, and the timeless traditions intertwined with the power of blood and jade. Author Fonda Lee masterfully continues this sweeping narrative, blending intense action with intricate world-building and complex characters that will captivate readers from start to finish.
