I agree with Skeld. Let the PCs hear rumors of someone who matched her description in Turtleback Ferry, in Book 3, but don't let them meet her there. Instead, she's the military advisor to the giants attacking Sandpoint in Book 4.
Right. She could get a mention in Barl's note (not by name, of course). She's a natural choice of advisor to the Sandpoint raid because she lived there and she's interested in seeing the town suffer.

Or you could always have her sneak back in to the Catacombs of Rage and receive further tutelage from the Scribbler - who like Nualia is an adherent of Lamashtu -and covertly corrupt a few Sandpointers as well.
I always liked Shaelis Vinder as a potential baddie ... Controlling father, rejected or used by so-called heroes, possible witness to dismembered sister, even more controlling father ... If that's not a good intro for becoming a sorceress or a witch and an opening for Lamashtu, and/or enough to make her a target for the post-giant attack "explosion" of the rage runewell under Sandpoint I don't know what is!
Seems a shame to have her condemned to "girlfriend" or flunky NPC status as often seems to be the case ...
