This was a slow burn intro to the Green Bone Saga. Here we're introduced to the Kual siblings: Lan, Hilo, Shae and their adopted cousin, Anden. They are the new generation of clan leaders (except for Anden who's still in training) of the Kaul clan. The Kaul clan is  1 of 2 major clans that control jade, a natural resource in the country that bestows individuals power. This book is all about the tension between the two clans and the impeding war. I think we are going to get a major jump in action in Jade War, because the way that this ended, a storm is on the horizon.
