Jade Legacy is an 2021 fantasy novel by Fonda Lee published by Orbit and the sequel to Jade War, released on November 30, 2021.[1] It is the third and final novel in the Green Bone saga starting with Jade City and follows the surviving players from the end of Jade War as they plot a path for peace between nations and within Janloon's competing tribes The Mountain clan and No Peak Clan over jade distribution.[2]

Premise[]

With the mass distribution of jade occurring after the events of Jade War, forces from all sides will swarm Janloon, seeking jade's magical abilities. As a worldwide crisis ends and more wars break out internationally and within Kekon, Hilo and Shae struggle to hold their power and teach the children of their family to take up the No Peak Clan legacy. At the same time, they wage a continued war against The Mountain clan as it continues to grow power time and time again.

Development[]

Jade Legacy is Lee's third adult novel. In an interview with Lightspeed, Lee said of the novel's writing process: "I normally write a book a year, but the Green Bone novels are twice as long and about five times more complicated than my previous books" and that she plans on continuing writing adult books down the line over further young adult novels as she plans on "be[ing] focused on the Green Bone Saga for some time."[3] In 2020, Lee revealed that Jade Legacy would take place over the span of 20 years.[4][5] In between developing the novel she wrote The Jade Setter of Janloon, a standalone novella taking place in the universe of the Green Bone saga which is set for release in 2022.[6]
