Map endpapers for the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee The Broken Binding special edition 306mm x 234mm, LB Royal format, 2024
The Green Bone Saga is one of my favourite series of all time, so getting to make the maps, endpaper illustrations, and edges for TBB's edition of the trilogy was a dream come true.
For the maps, I wanted to use paraphernalia as storytelling: conveying a sense of the plot and cultures through items that are significant to characters, such as Anden's training band and the Duchesse car keys, or media that might exist in the world, such as pamphlets, ferry tickets, and news broadcasts.
Art director Petrik Leo and I spent lots of time discussing the little details for each map—what to include, how much to reveal without spoiling the story for new readers—and we'd go to Fonda for feedback on any new inclusions (some of the locations are shifted, compared to the original maps by Tim Paul, and the world map has new places labeled).
Close-ups of some of the paraphernalia details:
The city map of Janloon is printed as a foldout, while the other two are endpaper spreads at the back of the books. You can find plenty of beautiful photos of the books on Instagram; I'm still waiting for my set to arrive, or I'd post pics too! If you aren't a TBB subscriber, the extras will go on general sale some months from now, so keep an eye out for that.
Prints available.

Hilo and Anden from Jade City. Through the entire trilogy I just love how their family relationship is, highs and lows. Also consider the first time we see them interact Anden already knows to take off his glasses cos Hilo is gonna really fight him for a “joke”. They’re both messed up…
I couldn’t resist teen Anden with floppy hair no one’s told him to cut in a while…

Was rereading Jade City and realised how unhinged "Hilo eating cereals in the kitchen in the same clothes that he wore the previous night to carry out a massacre" was

“I was angry at you for a long time after you refused to wear jade. Of course you remember. Now, though . . . I’m thankful you’re not a Fist, Andy. I need—” Hilo’s voice faltered. “I need one of my brothers to live.”

my best boy Kaul Hilo was written so well. so much baby girl put into him, so much cunt. so much love and unweavering loyalty in his family. he gives it all of himself to them even tho he knows he’s putting in more devotion than theO others. and yet, he doesn’t really try to understand them, he won’t let them be outside of what he pictures for them, what he thinks is right and would do for his family. and the author does such a good job of showing how much he adores them from his perspective but won’t try to be more understanding, to really see their struggles and who they are. he’ll jump to forgiveness and forgetting but won’t consider seeing it from their perspective. if he did that, his relationship with others would be so much better but he doen’t see it !!!!
#*screams into the void*#baby boy i luv u so much#my flawed devoted baby#at the beginning my enjoyment of the series is directly linked to his presence#it still is#he better not die#kaul hilo#jade city#green bone saga#i read green bone saga

Character endpapers for the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee The Broken Binding special edition 306mm x 234mm, LB Royal format, 2024
These are the front endpapers for the trilogy, showing the Kaul family and No Peak clan throughout the decades of the story.
Details and sketches:
Working on the art for this was a real joy, since GBS is one of the best fantasy series I've read in recent years. I was able to incorporate lots of inspiration from Southeast Asia, where I live, and Hong Kong eateries + Chinese martial arts dramas. I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding character writing, a gripping and heart-wrenching plot that spans clan drama to political intrigue and economic warfare, and extensive worldbuilding.
The trilogy has been shipped out to TBB subscribers already, and additional sets will be available on general sale to the public some months from now.
Prints available.
