Book Description
In this World Fantasy Award-winning novel of magic and kungfu, four siblings battle rival clans for honor and power in an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. *Named one of TIME's Top 100 Fantasy Books Of All Time * World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, winner 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 -- and of Kekon itself. Praise for Jade City: "An epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book." --Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author "A beautifully realized setting, a great cast of characters, and dramatic action scenes. What a fun, gripping read!" --Ann Leckie, Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author "An instantly absorbing tale of blood, honor, family and magic, spiced with unexpectedly tender character beats." --NPR The Green Bone Saga Jade City Jade War Jade Legacy

Book Description
In ancient China, the different tribes lived under the protection of benevolent spirits that took the form of animals--fish, ox, bird, horse, and serpent. But, as often happens, the tribes grew envious of each other and began to fight amongst themselves in the names of their spirits. The children decided to declare a war on war by creating a creature that combined the best of all the spirits and would protect all the people. To this day, the dragon is a symbol of peace and plays an especially important role in the celebration of the Chinese New Year. This timely message of cooperation and empowerment makes this book especially appealing to trade and institutional accounts. Communities with significant Chinese populations will also have a special interest in this title. Catherine Louis' Liu and the Bird was a critical hit with review journals, teachers, and librarians.

The Dao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all living things. All living things had no heart, and only the Dao could be formed. I wanted to become an immortal, but I only saw the word "heartless" on the Destiny Stone. It is five kainic acid, a combination of life and death. Then may I ask, what is the way of this stinky dog?

It's a new year, and Killian and I are finally married. Ari's salon, in my old house, is nearly finished. My ERS is still plaguing me, but my doctor has found the right mixture of herbs to neutralize as many of the symptoms as possible. At work, we're following up on some UFO reports from around the area, though I have no intentions on becoming a guinea pig in an alien's medical laboratory. And during my birthday, I'm given a gift from an unknown source. An antique mirror, that I remember from somewhere--but I'm not sure. The mirror is harboring a portal into a nightmare carnival of a world, where ghosts are the least of the problems. An unwelcome spirit from my past is there, and he's determined to break through and make my life a living hell. We have to stop him before he escapes from the mirror and this time--manages to kill me.

Finally, the shadow man is gone. I’ve been on sabbatical, trying to work on a book, but I’m getting antsy to return to my job. And then, one beautiful April morning, Rebecca the Imp delivers a message to me: Briar, the Fae Lord who helped us when we were trying to save Tad and Hank from Bigfoot, has called in my debt. It’s time to repay the favor. A dangerous member of the sub-Fae has escaped from the Overking’s realm and it’s loose in Moonshadow Bay. If the Court Magika discovers that a sluagh is running around, it could endanger negotiations between the Witchblood and the Fae. So Briar assigns the task to me: find and destroy the sluagh. The trouble is, I can’t tell my grandmother about it, or any member of the Court. So it’s back to Conjure Ink, to resume work on a part-time basis, and to enlist the agency’s help in tracking down the sub-Fae. Can I manage to clear my debt to the Overkings? And can we destroy the sluagh before it goes on a killing spree through Moonshadow Bay?
