The Chronicles of Osreth (officially titled The Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy) follows Thara Celehar, a Witness for the Dead. Set in the same steampunk-flavored elven world as The Goblin Emperor, these books shift focus from the imperial court to the gritty streets of Amalo. They are fantasy procedurals, blending magical investigation with deep character study.

Thara Celehar acts as a detective for the dead, using his spiritual gifts to uncover the truth behind suspicious deaths. But his work is not just about solving crimes; it’s about providing closure for the living and the dead alike, often at great personal cost.
