Celehar’s life as the Witness for the Dead of Amalo grows less isolated as his circle of friends grows larger. He has been given an apprentice to teach, and he has stumbled over a scandal of the city—the foundling girls. Orphans with no family to claim them and no funds to buy an apprenticeship. Foundling boys go to the Prelacies; foundling girls are sold into service, or worse.

At once touching and shattering, Celehar’s witnessing for one of these girls will lead him into the depths of his own losses.

The love of his friends will lead him out again.

Revealing the cover for The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison

The Witness for the Dead

We are very excited to reveal the UK cover for the highly anticipated The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison!

From the author of The Angel of The Crows and The Goblin Emperor comes the long-awaited return to the bestselling, award-winning, world of Maia, a young man of mixed Elven and Goblin heritage, who unexpectedly becomes Emperor of the Elflands.

Cover design by James Jones.

Murder, politics and intrigue. 

When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead.

Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. Now he lives in the City of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. He has not escaped from politics, but his position gives him the ability to serve the common people of the city, which is his preference.

 He lives modestly, but his decency and fundamental honestly will not permit him to live quietly.

The Witness for the Dead is out in paperback, eBook, and audiobook 22 July 2021 (UK).
