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' KEN LIU 'Gripping!' ANN LECKIE, author of Ancillary
Justice and The Raven Tower 'Lee's astute worldbuilding raises the

LYNCH, author of The Lies of Locke Lamora *****Shortlisted for the
Nebula Awards, the Locus Awards, the Aurora Awards, the Sunburst
Awards and an Amazon.com Best Book of the Month***** TWO CRIME
FAMILIES, ONE SOURCE OF POWER: JADE. Jade is the lifeblood of the
city of Janloon - a stone that enhances a warrior's natural
strength and speed. Jade is mined, traded, stolen and killed for,
controlled by the ruthless No Peak and Mountain families. When a
modern drug emerges that allows anyone - even foreigners - to wield
jade, simmering tension between the two families erupts into open
violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of
all in the families, from their grandest patriarch to even the
lowliest runner on the streets. Jade City is an epic tale of blood,
family, honour, and of those who live and die by ancient laws in a
changing world.
Ester’s family was torn apart when a manticore killed her mother
and baby brother, leaving her with nothing but her father’s
painful silence and a single, overwhelming need to kill the
monsters that took her family. Ester’s path leads her to join the
King’s Royal Mews, where the giant rocs of legend are flown to
hunt manticores by their brave and dedicated ruhkers. Paired with a
fledgling roc named Zahra, Ester finds purpose and acclaim by
devoting herself to a calling that demands absolute sacrifice and a
creature that will never return her love. The terrifying
partnership between woman and roc leads Ester not only on the
empire’s most dangerous manticore hunt, but on a journey of
perseverance and acceptance.

On the island of Kekon, the Kaul family is locked in a violent feud
for control of the capital city and the supply of magical jade that
endows trained Green Bone warriors with supernatural powers they
alone have possessed for hundreds of years. Beyond Kekon's borders,
war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal
kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's
most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge
they'd need to topple their rivals. Faced with threats on all
sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous
alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest
office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes
to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of
Kekon. Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic
trilogy about family, honour and those who live and die by the
ancient laws of blood and jade.
