Jade Legacy Release Week

by Fonda Lee | Nov 30, 2021 | News

Jade Legacy releases this week, November 30 in the US/Canada and December 2 in the UK. It’s hard to put into words how it feels to see this trilogy completed and out in the world. I’m proud of how this third and final installment in the Green Bone Saga turned out and am glad to finally share it with readers.

One thing that made release day extra special was this review from NPR Books, which also selected Jade Legacy as one of its Best Books of 2021.
