The Veiled Dragon

An aspiring Harper agent finds that solving a poisoning—and impressing her superiors—is much harder than she imagined
 
The Bedine witch Ruha has left the parched sea of Anauroch on her quest to become a Harper. That quest takes her to Eversult, where she must prove her mettle by discovering who has poisoned Lady Yanseldara. Simple enough—find the poison and track the poisoner.
 
But when the Cult of the Dragon, a Shou Prince, an oriental merchant, and an ancient dracolich get involved, Ruha’s simple task becomes far more complicated. As she soon discovers, life is never simple for a Harper, and poisoners' plots hold more treacherous twists than the tail of a Shou dragon.

The Veiled Dragon is the twelfth book in a series of loosely-connected novels about the Harpers.
