Jade Court is only mentioned, in Death Masks, IIRC.
Thing is, this is JIM BUTCHER. He doesn't casually mention anything that isn't going to be some major event later on... And they might not be too happy with someone that has the power and ability to wipe out an ENTIRE group of vampires with a single spell.

I was at a Jim Butcher Q&A/book signing not quite a week ago. The Jade Court is precisely that - something that is not going to be a major event later on. He was surprisingly definite about that, given how reluctant he was to pin himself down on other potential future plots.
EDIT: One of the more interesting bits was that the RPG writers, in the original draft they ran by Jim, had done their research well enough that the in-character banter in the margins of the book had speculation in which they were entirely correct about major plot events, like the truth of the Black Council, etc. I believe that got Sharpie-vetoed, if I remember my copy of the book correctly...
