The Standing Dead is a 2002 fantasy novel by Ricardo Pinto. It is the second book in The Stone Dance of the Chameleon trilogy, which concerns the harrowing experiences of the young and inexperienced heir to a ruling dynasty who is suddenly taken from his protected childhood and thrust into a cruel society where he must fight for his family honour, his position and his life.
The story explores the relationship between its two principal characters, Osidian and Carnelian, as Osidian moves from suicidal despondency at the loss of his throne to a singleminded and ruthless quest for revenge.
