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

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, 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."

Iäna and Thara my beloved, I love u so much

[ID:  A digital, uncoloured sketch of Iäna and Thara from the goblin emperor series. It is a comic in four panels. The first panel shows Iäna and Thara's eyes, Iäna is looking at Thara concerned and Thara is looking down, crying. The second panel shows Iäna's hand lightly touching Thara's, the third shows their hands locked together. The fourth panel shows them sitting, holding hands. "In the dark, Iäna's hand found mine" is written on the drawing. End ID]

ID: a 3-panel digitally sketched comic strip in a cartoony style of thara celehar and iäna pel-thenhior from the grief of stones. thara is a thin elf with pale curly hair, pale skin, and a square jaw. his hair is in a simple braid and he's wearing a dark coat. in the first panel, thara is in the foreground sitting in an armchair, reading the paper. his expression is neutral, kind of nonchalant. the title of the paper says, "witness destroys lich king" and scribbled on the other side is the word "garbage." iäna is in the background at the counter making tea, his back turned to thara. he is a tall, slim goblin-elf with darker skin and dark, long braids. he is wearing a light dressing gown and slippers, and there is a suggestion of a teapot on the counter. scribbled with an arrow pointing at the counter it says, "making tea." in the second panel, iäna is calling "honey?" over his shoulder to thara. he has a spoon in one hand, and a honey jar is indicated on the counter. still with a neutral expression, thara responds, "yes, dear?" his newspaper is now titled "witness loses goth powers." on the other page is scribbled "garbage cont." in the third panel iäna is spinning around, a big excited heart-shaped grin on his face, his eyes big and shiny in adoration. he is gasping and blushing and there are little heart doodles around his head. thara looks stricken, just realizing his mistake, and he's gripping the newspaper tightly, shoulders raised. he is blushing fiercely, his mouth a tight line. scribbled around him is "OOPS," "fuck," "shit," and "stupid." the newspaper is now titled, "witness: GAY??" and the other page reads "homo." end ID

I was re-reading Even If There Are Dreams (which everyone should go read btw) and was inspired to make this

#iana asks if thara wants honey and i had to stop reading and bang this out lmao #like wait but what if #my primary modus operandi is 'how can i make x thing stupid' i apologize to the talented authors #grief of stones #grief of stones spoilers #my art #wftd #thara celehar #iäna pel-thenhior #described #ty to @deretbeshelar for your support as usual <3

polished up this piece in honour of the grief of stones! these bitches continue to be gay (good for them)

[id: A digital drawing of Thara Celehar and Iäna Pel-Thenhior from The Witness for the Dead walking arm-in-arm at dusk; Iäna’s arm is extended to Celehar, who holds it with his shoulders raised apprehensively. On the left, Celehar is a short, thin elven man with a short braid fraying into curls, and blue eyes that have dark bags under them. He is wearing modest earrings, a dark grey frock-coat with patches on the elbows, and his shirt has a dark grey collar. He is blushing deeply, his cheeks and the tips of his ears turning pink, and he is looking down and to the left with a nervous expression while his right hand (viewer’s left) is closed close to his chest.

On the right, Iäna is a tall, average sized half-goblin man with gold eyes, medium-toned grey skin and long black box braids tied into a bun with braids hanging down at the back. One braid is loose past his left ear, and a gold clasp is visible on the end of it. His ears are chock full of earrings, mostly gold, with some red and amber gems. He has some stubble on his chin, and wears one nose piercing and two brow piercings, all on the left side (his right) of his face. He is wearing an ornate red tailcoat with black buttons, over a dark grey waistcoat, white shirt, and beige trousers. He has a dark grey cravat and a scarf loosely draped around his neck, black with a scribbled gold pattern. He is also wearing gold rings on his visible hand, while his left is tucked behind his back. He is looking at Celehar and grinning. /end id]

ID: three headshot sketches of characters from the Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy. the first two are of Praeceptor Azhanharad, a broad half-elf half-goblin man wearing a trenchcoat and breastplate and many long braids pulled back from his face. in the first he is looking ahead with a neutral expression; the second, his eyes are closed and brow furrowed as he rubs the side of his neck. the third picture is Iäna Pel-thenhior, a half-elf half-goblin man with a thin face, facial hair, and braids pinned into an updo with a floral hair stick. he is smiling knowingly. end ID

2 more azhanharads and a first pel-thenhior

[kiraziwrites]

So for the second year in a row, I wrote a Yuletide fic for The Goblin Emperor, or more precisely, the Cemeteries of Amalo spinoff series, about my favorite Sad Gay Elf Detective, Thara Celehar (and his romantic interest Hot Half-Goblin Opera Director Iäna Pel-Thenhior).

T-rated, 5770 words, tags include “In Which Thara Celehar Finally Gets Some Therapy,” “And a boyfriend.” But it’s really mostly about Thara finding some healing and comfort in the aftermath of the events of The Grief of Stones—and also discovering how many people care about him and consider him a friend, not least among them a certain Edrehasivar VII. I’m so glad redgear’s prompts gave me a reason to make Maia a part of this story, and bringing him and Thara back together was one of the highlights of the process of coming up with this story. Writing for this series is always a high-wire act of pastiche, from handling the titles and vocabulary and formal/informal speech registers to hinting at the complexity of the worldbuilding—not to mention making the first-person narration sound credibly like Thara’s in the books. That said, I’m really happy with how it turned out—and bowled over by the response so far. I’m hoping to write more for this fandom in the future, and not just when I get it as a Yuletide assignment.

Also, the inevitable finally occurred and I titled a fic after a lyric from The Mountain Goats. “Never Quite Free” is a song about recovering from trauma, about how things do indeed get better—but also how part of that means acknowledging you’re always going to be marked in certain irrevocable, indelible ways by what you’ve been through. It’s a song dear to my heart, and one that feels very right for Thara’s journey—both in this fic and in (what I hope is going to be) the arc of the series as a whole.

The Goblin Emperor and Witness for the Dead are my favorite books right now. Just lovely books. And Thara Celehar is a sad little man riddled with regrets and insomnia so of course he's one of my favorite characters. Anyways I think he deserves some rest and Iäna strikes me as a good hugger so I drew him and his sad little detective priest crush having a cuddle
