Synopsis

In the city of Janloon, jade is more than just a precious stone—it grants enhanced strength, speed, and perception to those who can wield it. The Green Bone clans, powerful crime families, control the supply of jade and fiercely protect their territories.

The story follows the Kaul family, leaders of the No Peak Clan, as they struggle to maintain dominance against their rivals, the Mountain Clan. Siblings Lan, Hilo, and Shae must navigate deadly politics, shifting alliances, and personal betrayals in a world where honor and power come at a high price. As a new drug emerges that allows even non-Green Bones to harness the power of jade, the balance of power in Janloon begins to shift—sparking a conflict that will determine the fate of the entire city.
