Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. 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.īeyond Kekon’s borders, war is brewing. Jade City begins an epic tale of family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of jade and blood.Īnd you can read my in depth review of Jade City here. 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. 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.

Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon’s bustling capital city.

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. Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon.
