The Jade Setter of Janloon

Fonda Lee returns to the world of the Green Bone Saga with a standalone prequel novella. In Janloon, a city ruled by jade, Pulo Oritono is an apprentice jade setter with no clan ties. When a valuable jade weapon is stolen from his master's shop and an innocent coworker is arrested, Pulo has three days to recover it before he loses his future and possibly his life.

His search draws him between the rival No Peak and Mountain clans and exposes old vendettas, deep corruption and hard questions about the people he trusts. Set shortly before the events of Jade City, it can be read without the trilogy, though fans of the series will find the city and its clans familiar.
