For centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors have used magical jade to enhance their abilities and defend the island of Kekon from foreign invasion.
Now the war is over and a new generation vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. Four siblings of the powerful Kaul family must prepare for battle... and the fragile peace between the clans is about to break.

(STARRED REVIEW)
Jade, the mysterious and magical substance once exclusive to Green Bone warriors, is now coveted throughout the world. Everyone wants access to the supernatural abilities it provides. As the struggle over jade grows larger and more deadly, the Kaul family, and the ancient ways of the Kekonese Green Bones, will never be the same.
Battered by war and tragedy, the Kauls are plagued by resentments and old wounds as their adversaries are on the rise and their country is riven by dangerous factions and foreign interference. The clan must discern allies from enemies, set aside bloody rivalries, and make terrible sacrifices... but even the unbreakable bonds of blood and loyalty may not be enough to ensure the survival of the clans and the nation they are sworn to protect.
