Published from 1991 to 1998, the series runs to eighteen books by various authors, including titles like The Parched Sea, Elfshadow, and Red Magic.
Each book typically focuses on a different Harper agent facing a distinct threat, giving readers standalone adventures within the larger Forgotten Realms continuity.
