Informationen zum Autor Katherine Addison is the pen name of Sarah Monette. She grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, one of the three secret cities of the Manhattan Project. She got her B.A. from Case Western Reserve University, her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

She currently lives near Madison, Wisconsin. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung The third book set in the world of the award-winning The Goblin Emperor, The Grief Stones is a direct sequel to The Witness for The Dead and the second book of what is now The Cemeteries of Amalo Series, with a welcome return for Celehar, The Witness for the Dead of Amalo, as he stumbles upon a scandal in the city that leads to murder and a journey of discovery, loss and love.
