Veiled Alliances, Kevin J Anderson
Read the kindle version, which claimed 316pg
However, I'm using it here with the “One book between 80 -99 pages may be used for ONE 5 point task” exemption, as the two paperback versions were a 96pg graphic novel, and another which claimed 316pg like the kindle version (9781614750338), so figuring out the actual page count was tricky. However it does seem to be at least 96pg.
