![]() He lives modestly, but his decency and fundamental honesty will not permit him to live quietly. 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. Now Celehar lives in the city of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. The favor of the Emperor is a dangerous coin. He lost his place as a retainer of his cousin the former Empress, and made far too many enemies among the many factions vying for power in the new Court. Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. 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 father’s Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead. Katherine Addison returns at last to the world of The Goblin Emperor with this stand-alone sequel. ![]() ![]() Purchasing Info: Author's Website, Publisher's Website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, ![]() Series: Goblin Emperor #2, Cemeteries of Amalo #1 ![]() Source: supplied by publisher via Edelweiss, supplied by publisher via NetGalleyįormats available: hardcover, ebook, audiobook The Witness for the Dead (The Goblin Emperor, #2) by Katherine Addison ![]()
