"Sweeping and intimate; a magical, almost operatic crime and family drama."
-NPR BOOKS

The Kaul family is locked in a violent feud for control of the capital of Kekon and the supply of magical jade that endows honorable Green Bone warriors with supernatural abilities.

Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes to the island nation and their most prized resource.

Faced. with threats on all sides, the Kaul family must put honor aside and do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of Kekon.

PRAISE FOR THE GREEN BONE SAGA:

"Intricate, fast-moving, and brazen.... A sharp and insightful new voice."
-ELIZABETH BEAR, HUGO AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR

"Lee's story is sweeping, leisurely, and epic, and combines political intrigue with sharply choreographed action scenes."
-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)

"A modern classic.... Lee handles each thread with skill and style, weaving a story that feels as intimate as it does epic."
-NICHOLAS EAMES, AUTHOR OF KINGS OF THE WYLD

"Nail-biting intrigue and stunning, heart-pumping action scenes."
-BOOKLIST

"Lee's astute worldbuilding raises the stakes for her vivid and tautly described action scenes."

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
