When we first met the young priest Cadderly, he wasn't even sure that a life of scholarly devotion was for him. He was neglecting his studies in the pursuit of strange inventions, and his attention was further drawn to Danica, a beautiful young monk who'd also come to the Edificant Library to study. But then came the chaos curse, and nothing but attempts on his life followed. Since his most humble beginnings, Cadderly has come into his own, and felt the power of a god course through him.

Castle Trinity has thrown everything it had at the priests of the Edificant Library, the elves of Shilmista, and the human city of Carradoon, but always from afar, through agents or hired assassins. But when one of his own disciples betrays him, Aballister himself will enter the fray, and the fight will come to Castle Trinity's gates.

The Cleric Quintet is a five-book series by R.A. Salvatore, the creator of the Legend of Drizzt. The series started in Canticle and concludes in The Chaos Curse, but Cadderly, Danica, and other characters and locales from the Cleric Quintet move on into the Legend of Drizzt, and all the way through to 2009's best-selling The Ghost King. Read the series that established a whole new cast of characters to the epic saga of the Forgotten Realms novels of R.A. Salvatore!
