Amalo's Witnesses for the Dead

[winterinhimring]

Poor Tomasaran really gets thrown in at the deep end, I must say.

Welcome to Amalo. Here’s the guy who will teach you. (Pan to an extremely sad shabby man who can touch a corpse for five seconds and then with perfect confidence find a hidden stash of money nobody else knew about.) No pressure. Oh, and there’s an autopsy of a half-rotted corpse today. The corpse may have been murdered. A very high-ranked cleric, with whom your mentor is on comfortable terms, is going to carry out the autopsy. Hope you can handle that. While you wait for the corpse to be exhumed, he volunteers you for a catch-up lesson in cemetery administration, which is apparently part of what you need to know (nobody told you this.) Your mentor does not seem terribly disturbed by the half-rotted corpse once it is exhumed except at the worst moments, and in fact assists the said high-ranked cleric with the autopsy. You have not yet found lodgings in the city. You smell like death. Your mentor unerringly guides you through the maze of tramlines to a landlady he apparently knows from another murder investigation, who is delighted to give you a room. Is there anyone this man does not know? At least you have a room now.

The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison to release on 11 March 2025

The Tomb of Dragons

The end of Sarah Monette/Katherine Addison's The Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy, a spin-off of The Goblin Emperor (together known as The Chronicles of Osreth) has been listed as releasing on 11 March 2025, with cover art by Sachin Teng, design by Esther Kim, and there's now a summary:

"Thara Celehar has lost his ability to speak with the dead. When that title of Witness for the Dead is gone, what defines him?

While his title may be gone, his duties are not. Celehar contends with a municipal cemetery with fifty years of secrets, the damage of a revethavar he’s terrified to remember, and a group of miners who are more than willing to trade Celehar’s life for a chance at what they feel they’re owed.

Celehar does not have to face these impossible tasks alone. Joining him are his mentee Velhiro Tomasaran, still finding her footing with the investigative nature of their job; Iäna Pel-Thenhior, his beloved opera director friend and avid supporter; and the valiant guard captain Hanu Olgarezh.

Amidst the backdrop of a murder and a brewing political uprising, Celehar must seek justice for those who cannot find it themselves under a tense political system. The repercussions of his quest are never as simple they seem, and Celehar’s own life and happiness hang in the balance."

Celehar: No, there aren’t very many murders here. I mean, I’ve been here for six months and there have only been three.

Tomasaran, unto recently resident of a very small town: O.O
