The Kaul family is one of two crime syndicates that control the island of Kekon. It’s the only place in the world that produces rare magical jade, which grants those with the right training and heritage superhuman abilities. When the simmering tension between the Kauls and their greatest rivals erupts into open violence in the streets, the outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones and the future of Kekon itself. Jade City<\/em> is a gripping Godfather-esque saga of intergenerational blood feuds, vicious politics, magic, and kungfu.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

New Delhi, 3 a.m. A speeding Mercedes jumps the curb and in the blink of an eye, five people are dead. It\u2019s a rich man\u2019s car, but when the dust settles there is no rich man at all, just a shell-shocked servant who cannot explain the strange series of events that led to this crime. Nor can he foresee the dark drama that is about to unfold. Equal parts crime thriller and family saga, Age of Vice <\/em>is an intoxicating novel of gangsters and lovers, false friendships, forbidden romance, and the consequences of corruption. It is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An awkward first date leads to a sparkling romance between one of the most powerful witches in town and a magical newbie in this rom-com by Lana Harper. Even though she won\u2019t deny her love for pretty (and pricey) things, Nineve Blackmoore is almost painfully down-to-earth and sensible by Blackmoore standards.

You\u2019ve probably never met someone like Clancy. He\u2019s keeping a diary, he\u2019s falling in love, there are rivals for his affections, he lives with his best friend and his worst enemy \u2013 even taken together, these factors are maybe not that unusual, except that Clancy is a dog. His point of view is therefore perhaps\u2026different. Told in Cameron\u2019s signature style, a tremendous cast of wonderful characters find themselves jointly and separately navigating the challenges of life, of love, and\u2026other pets, including Clancy’s \u201cworst enemy\u201d – one very disdainful cat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
