About
In The Tomb of Dragons, Katherine Addison returns to the award-winning world of The Goblin Emperor, deftly wrapping up The Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy.
"The audiobook narrated by Liam Gerrard perfectly captures Celehar's voice." -Buzzfeed on The Grief of Stones
"This trilogy is as close to perfect as books can get." -T. Kingfisher, author of What Moves the Dead
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; Anora Chanavar, his stalwart friend and fellow prelate of Ulis; 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.

"Readers who are enthralled with the new cozy fantasy trend or love a cozy mystery will be delighted with Celehar and his latest investigation."-Library Journal, starred review
"An utter delight."-LitHub
"This trilogy is as close to perfect as books can get. A thoroughly enjoyable conclusion to a magnificent trilogy. I come back to these books over and over again and visit the cemeteries of Amalo like an old friend. These books have been a bright thread in dark times. I could not love them more."-T. Kingfisher, author of What Moves the Dead
"An ingenious piece of narrative clockwork-intricate, exquisite, and utterly compelling."-Foz Meadows, Hugo Award-winning author of A Strange and Stubborn Endurance
"Impeccable, heartfelt, ceremonious world-building, brought to an exquisite bittersweet conclusion."-Francis Spufford, author of Cahokia Jazz
"Thara Celehar follows his calling, and we follow him: right into a complex maze of religious bureaucracy, murderous fanatics, and deepening friendships that bewilder him more than imperial politics. But for every danger he faces, we love him more, as we watch him doggedly seek redress for victims gone voiceless to the void. Katherine Addison's Tomb of Dragons is a symphonic spectacle, radiant with quiet moments, and absolutely terrifying. I wanted to reread her entire oeuvre the moment I finished it, just so I could read it again."-C. S. E. Cooney, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Saint Death's Daughter
"Here Be Dragons! Thara Celehar returns in this brilliantly moody, thoughtful tale of loyalty, obligation, and wonder. "-Elizabeth Bear, multiple Hugo-award winner
"Many-layered and gloriously woven, it's a joy to be back in the company of Thara Celehar and those who love (and hate) him. It's a joy, too, to be in the hands of an accomplished writer,
