Jade
is
the
lifeblood
of
the
island
of
Kekon.
It
has
been
mined,
traded,
stolen,
and
killed
for
--
and
for
centuries,
honorable
Green
Bone
warriors
like
the
Kaul
family
have
used
it
to
enhance
their
magical
abilities
and
defend
the
island
from
foreign
invasion.
Now,
the
war
is
over
and
a
new
generation
of
Kauls
vies
for
control
of
Kekon's
bustling
capital
city.
They
care
about
nothing
but
protecting
their
own,
cornering
the
jade
market,
and
defending
the
districts
under
their
protection.
Ancient
tradition
has
little
place
in
this
rapidly
changing
nation.
When
a
powerful
new
drug
emerges
that
lets
anyone
--
even
foreigners
--
wield
jade,
the
simmering
tension
between
the
Kauls
and
the
rival
Ayt
family
erupts
into
open
violence.
The
outcome
of
this
clan
war
will
determine
the
fate
of
all
Green
Bones
--
from
their
grandest
patriarch
to
the
lowliest
motorcycle
runner
on
the
streets
--
and
of
Kekon
itself.
Jade
Cityis
the
first
novel
in
an
epic
trilogy
about
family,
honor,
and
those
who
live
and
die
by
the
ancient
laws
of
blood
and
jade.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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 motorcycle 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.
Lee's astute worldbuilding raises the stakes for her vivid and tautly-described action scenes - Scott Lynch, THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA
