The Grief of Stones

The Grief of Stones is a dark urban fantasy set in the richly textured secondary-world city of Amalo. Thara Celehar, a Witness for the Dead — a supernatural investigator who can see the truth behind murders — takes on a case where the victim's identity has been magically obscured. As he pursues clues through the city's underworld and its political circles, he must also mentor an apprentice and decide what his role in this world will become.
