In this epic saga of magic and kungfu, four siblings battle rival clans for honor and power in an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. * World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, winner* Aurora Award for Best Novel, winner* Nebula Award for Best Novel, nominee* Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel, finalist 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 -- from their grandest patriarch to the lowliest motorcycle runner on the streets -- and of Kekon itself. Jade City is the first novel in an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.

Jade City

In Jade War, the sequel to the World Fantasy Award-winning novel Jade City, the Kaul siblings battle rival clans for honor and control over an Asia-inspired fantasy metropolis. 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. Beyond Kekon's borders, war is brewing. Powerful foreign governments and mercenary criminal kingpins alike turn their eyes on the island nation. Jade, Kekon's most prized resource, could make them rich - or give them the edge they'd need to topple their rivals. Faced with threats on all sides, the Kaul family is forced to form new and dangerous alliances, confront enemies in the darkest streets and the tallest office towers, and put honor aside in order to do whatever it takes to ensure their own survival - and that of all the Green Bones of Kekon. Jade War is the second book of the Green Bone Saga, an epic trilogy about family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade. The Green Bone SagaJade CityJade War

Within these pages lie eighteen stories, from eighteen worlds shaped by some of today’s best writers of science fiction and fantasy, all guests on the Aurora Award-winning podcast The Worldshapers during its first year. Some are international bestsellers. Among them are winners and nominees for the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Aurora, Sunburst, Aurealis, Ditmar, British Science Fiction Association, and Dragon Awards. Some have been writing for decades, others are at the beginning of their careers. All have honed their craft to razor-sharpness. A teenage girl finds something strange in the middle of the Canadian prairie. An exobiologist tries to liberate a giant alien enslaved on its homeworld by humans. The music of the spheres becomes literal for an Earth ship far from home. A superhero league interviews for new members. Strangers share a drink on a world where giant starships fall. Two boys, one a werewolf, one a mage, get more than they bargained for when they volunteer to fight an evil Empire. A man with amnesia accepts a most unusual offer. A young woman finds unexpected allies as she tries to win a flying-machine race in steampunk London . . . Ranging from boisterous to bleak, from humorous to harrowing, from action-filled to quiet and meditative; taking place in alternate pasts, the present day, the far, far future, and times that never were; set on Earth, in the distant reaches of space, in fantasy worlds, and in metaphysical realms, each of these stories is as unique as its creator. And yet, they all showcase one thing: the irrepressible need of human beings to create, to imagine, to tell stories. To shape worlds.

La famille est un devoir. La magie est un pouvoir. L'honneur est primordial. Bienvenue dans la fabuleuse ville de Janloon ! Mais attention, derrière la beauté de la capitale de l'île de Kekon se cache une dangereuse réalité, celle d'une ville déchirée entre deux clans qui s'affrontent pour le contrôle de la cité et du jade. Cette pierre précieuse et magique qu'on ne trouve que dans les mines de l'île permet au guerrier qui la porte d'amplifier ses capacités, faisant de lui une véritable arme de guerre. Aujourd'hui, alors que le chef du clan Sans Cime se retire du pouvoir laissant la direction à ses petits-enfants, leurs rivaux du clan de la Montagne en profitent pour ravir des quartiers et s'accaparer le marché du jade. Lorsqu'une nouvelle drogue puissante se propage, permettant à quiconque – même aux étrangers – de manier le jade, la tension qui couve entre les deux clans éclate avec une violence sans précédent. Entre jeux politiques, trahison, argent et pouvoir, l'issue de cette guerre déterminera le sort de tous les guerriers de jade... et de l'île elle-même.

La Cité de jade (ebook) - Tome 01

Yesim Sehri - Yesil Kemik Efsanesi

La magica giada, la misteriosa sostanza un tempo prerogativa dei guerrieri Ossa Verdi di Kekon, è ora nota in tutto il mondo. Governi, boss criminali e mercenari vogliono avere accesso ai poteri che conferisce - ma anche atleti, registi cinematografici, medici. La lotta per il controllo della giada si fa così ancora più feroce, e cambierà per sempre i destini della famiglia Kaul e dei guerrieri Ossa Verdi. Sconfitti dalla guerra e da un tragico destino, i Kaul si dibattono tra rancori e antiche ferite mentre i loro avversari diventano ogni giorno più potenti e il paese è lacerato dalle lotte tra fazioni e dalle interferenze straniere. Il clan deve imparare a distinguere gli amici dai nemici, mettere da parte cruente rivalità e compiere terribili sacrifici... Ma anche gli indissolubili legami di sangue e lealtà potrebbero non essere sufficienti a garantire la sopravvivenza dei clan Ossa Verdi e della nazione che hanno giurato di proteggere.

Bist du bereit für eine aufregende Reise in fremde Welten? Bist du bereit, dich von fantastischen Geschichten verzaubern zu lassen? Dann ist diese Leseproben-Sammlung genau das Richtige für dich! Begleite die 19-jährige Hellea, genannt Hell, auf ihrer Reise in die urtümlichen Wälder Schwedens, aus denen sie nicht als diejenige zurückkehren wird, die sie zuvor gewesen ist. Denn plötzlich wird sie von unerklärlichen Fieberschüben heimgesucht, und bald muss Hell erfahren, dass das, was sie bislang als Wutanfälle und zuletzt als Fieber wahrgenommen hat, eine uralte Kraft ist, die das Schicksal der Welt und insbesondere der Frauen in Hells Hände legt. Tauche ein in ein magisches, in den glamourösen 20er-Jahren erstarrtes Berlin, bewohnt von vielgestaltigen Feen-Wesen. In der »Spiegelstadt«, dem neuen Urban-Fantasy-Roman von Christian Handel und Andreas Suchanek, entfaltet sich eine andere Wirklichkeit, die in den Schatten unserer Welt existiert. Auf einer wilden Party begegnet Max dem ebenso attraktiven wie geheimnisvollen Lenyo – und gerät damit mitten hinein in einen blutigen Konflikt um die Herrschaft in der Feen-Welt. Keiner von ihnen ahnt, dass sie schon bald zum Spielball einer gefährlichen Macht werden, die die Barriere zwischen den Welten bedroht ... Manuel Schmitt, auf YouTube aktiv als SgtRumpel, nimmt dich in seinem Roman »Godmode. Der Videospiel-Prophet« mit auf eine fantastische Reise durch die Welt der Videospiele: Neil Desmond, bekannt als eSport-Legende Orkus666, verflucht die Welt nach einem desaströsen Match gegen seine Erzrivalin KiraNightingale – und erwacht am nächsten Morgen er in einer Welt, in der Computer lediglich zur Datenverarbeitung verwendet werden und es Videogames niemals gegeben hat. Der ehemals berühmte Orkus666 arbeitet nun als Putzmann bei einem großen IT-Unternehmen. Neil beschließt, den ihm bekannten Status Quo in Sachen Gaming wiederherzustellen. Und ausgerechnet seine Erzrivalin könnte dabei der Schlüssel zum Erfolg sein.
