Katherine Addison returns at last to the world of The Goblin Emperor with this stand-alone sequel.
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 Celehar 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 honesty will not permit him to live quietly.

Addison took the world by storm with her brilliant and sensitive characterizations in The Goblin Emperor. She continues to immerse readers in the lives of her exotic, yet ever-so-human characters in this delicious stand-alone sequel.
