The Jade Setter Of Janloon by Fonda Lee — April 30
While Fonda Lee may have wrapped up The Green Bone Saga last year with the epic Jade Legacy, the author isn’t quite done with Kekon yet. This year we’ll be getting an all new novella set in that same world. The Jade Setter of Janloon will be a more condensed tale than the sprawling decades-long affair that was Jade Legacy, but knowing Lee, it’s still bound to pack quite a punch.
This story is set before The Green Bone Saga, which means that some of those Kaul family members we’ve loved and lost may make appearances:
The rapidly changing city of Janloon is ruled by jade, the rare and ancient substance that enhances the abilities and status of the trained Green Bone warriors who run the island’s powerful clans.
Pulo Oritono is not one of those warriors. He’s simply an apprentice jade setter with dreams of securing clan patronage and establishing a successful business. His hopes are dashed, however, when a priceless jade weapon is stolen from the shop where he works.
Now, Pulo has three days to hunt down the thief, find the jade, and return it to its rightful owner if he wants to save his future prospects, the people he cares about, and his very life. The desperate mission will lead Pulo to old vendettas, vast corruption, and questions about everything and everyone he thought he knew.
The Jade Setter of Janloon is being released through Subterranean Press. Currently preorders are sold out, though the book is expected to be available in ebook format.
