The Kaul family stands at the center of a war that threatens to destroy everything they know. Jade, once the exclusive domain of Kekon's Green Bone warriors, now attracts global attention for the supernatural powers it grants. Foreign nations interfere in Kekonese affairs while dangerous factions tear the country apart from within. The Kaul siblings must navigate blood feuds and political betrayals as their enemies gain strength. War and tragedy have left deep scars on the family, creating resentments that complicate their struggle for survival. The clan faces impossible choices between honor and pragmatism, tradition and adaptation. They must identify true allies among supposed friends and make sacrifices that will change their ancient warrior culture forever. Even the strongest family bonds may not prove sufficient to save the Green Bone clans and protect their homeland from destruction.
