Book 1
From the beloved creator of the Legend of Drizzt comes the thrilling first adventure in the Cleric Quintet—the story of a young cleric who is destined for greatness
High in the Snowflake Mountains sits the Edificant Library, a place of scholarly study for priests, bards, and anyone who seeks knowledge for the sake of the greater good. This mystical place is home to Cadderly, a young cleric who lives a peaceful life of scholarship and invention.
When a vicious curse is unleashed on the library, Cadderly must set aside his pursuit of knowledge to lead a motley team of monks, dwarves, and druids—and one alluring young warrior monk named Danica—into the catacombs of the library and a perilous fight against evil. There, the friends must join together as a group of unlikely heroes to save their home from the destruction already pulsing through its walls.
Book 2
"In Sylvan Shadows" follows Cadderly the scholar-priest, as he leaves his home to combat the evil unleashed by the Chaos Curse. To counter Castle Trinity's plans for conquest, the cleric and his friends enter the beautiful forest of Shilmista. But among the trees and glades of the forest, Cadderly must battle a monstrous evil.
Book 3
Salvatore's The Cleric Quintet tells the tale of the scholar-priest Cadderly, who is plucked from the halls of the Edificant Library to fulfill a heroic quest across the land of Faern.
The assassins of the Night Masks stalk the shadowy streets of the city of Carradoon, led by the sinister killer known as Ghost. Cadderly struggles against the dreaded Chaos Curse in these dark, evil-haunted alleyways, with a silent death around every corner.
Book 4
Trying to avert a war between the combined forces of Carradoon and Shilmista Forest and the fiends of Castle Trinity, Cadderly uses his priestly magic to wage a smaller war.
Book 5
Cadderly and his friends journey home to find a changed Edificant Library in this conclusion to the Cleric Quintet
After many epic battles, Cadderly and his team of heroes are finally ready to return home to the Edificant Library. Cadderly knows to expect a cold reception, given that his powers have grown exponentially since his departure—and have even disrupted the hierarchy of his religious order.
However, something far worse awaits the travelers when they reach their destination. In their absence, the Chaos Curse has reared its angry head once more, attacking their beloved library home and turning it into a horrifying battleground teeming with vicious, powerful creatures. Can Cadderly overcome evil on his home turf and find his new place in the Deneiran order—or is his home lost forever?
