Liam Gerrard narrates a mystery set in a complex fantasy world. Thara Celehar, Witness for the Dead in the city of Amalo, finds himself on a dangerous path after starting an investigation into the bewildering murder of a marquise. Despite the grim turns that Celehar’s story occasionally takes, Gerrard maintains a hopeful tone throughout, which is in keeping with Celehar’s focus on always doing his job to the best of his ability despite the occasional hardship he may encounter. When Celehar is at a painful crossroads, both emotionally and professionally, Gerrard does not downplay the profound impact of what has occurred, and gives equal space to the deep solace that Celehar finds in a ritual that helps to recenter him.

"The audiobook narrated by Liam Gerrard perfectly captures Celehar's voice." -Buzzfeed on The Grief of Stones
In The Grief of Stones, Katherine Addison returns to the world of The Goblin Emperor with a direct sequel to The Witness For The Dead...
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.
