We’re so excited to be publishing The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison for the UK!
In this sequel to the much-loved The Witness for the Dead, Thara Celehar’s work sees him take on an apprentice and investigate a scandal that has a school of foundling girls, some of Amalo’s most vulnerable citizens, at its centre.
We’re delighted to share the cover with you today, designed by James Jones:
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.
The Grief of Stones will be out in paperback, eBook and audiobook on 23 June 2022.
