Starless Night by: R.A. Salvatore (Forgotten Realms)

Another great book in a great series!

I can find no answers in Mithril Hall . . . The apparent serenity of Drizzt Do'Urden, the brooding quiet, will show me nothing of the future designs of the drow. Yet, for the sake of my friends, I must know those dark intentions. And so I fear that there remains only one place for me to look ...

The Underdark. A place of brooding darkness, where no shadows exist, and where Drizzt Do'Urden does not wish to go. The noble dark elf must return there, though, must go back to find his friends in the gnome city of Blingdenstone, and on to Menzoberranzan, the city of drow. Only then can Drizzt discern what perils might reach out from that dark place to threaten his friends in Mithril Hall.

He finds allies where he least expects them and enemies he thought long gone. His scimitars slash at monsters too evil to reside under the sunlight of the surface world, while his inner strength wrestles with the tumult of emotions assaulting the noble drow when he looks once more on his dreaded homeland. All the while Drizzt must fend off the weight of guilt he carries for a dear friend lost to him forever.

The Legacy by: R.A. Salvatore (Forgotten Realms)

Oh man, I love the Drizzt books. They are so good.

Because of the friends I have known, the honorable people I have met, I know I am no solitary hero of unique causes. I know that when I die, that which is important will live on. This is my legacy; by the grace of the gods, I am not alone.–Drizzt Do’Urden

The Cleric Quintet by: R.A. Salvatore (Forgotten Realms Series)

A really good series, my favorite characters would have to be the Bouldershoulder brothers--they are Dwarven brothers, Ivan and Pikel, and they are HILARIOUS!!!

The Cleric Quintet is a group of five books in one, all dealing with the same characters.

Canticle: Book 1

High in the placid Snowflake Mountains lies a little-known conservatory for bards, priests, clerics, and others. Cloistered among his colleagues, a scholar-priest named Cadderly must contain a malevolent, consuming essence that's been uncorked, before his own brethren turn against him. Cadderly must put his studies to the test and enter the catacombs far below to save his brothers and himself.

In Sylvan Shadows: Book 2

Cadderly, the Edificant Library's eccentric young scholar-priest, has survived his first adventure, but the chaos curse is just the beginning of Castle Trinity's plans for regional conquest. Cadderly and his friends must save the inhabitants of the beautiful elven forest, Shilmista, where a new opponent leads an army of vile monsters. Not even Cadderly's powerful companions can insulate him from the trials of character and courage that he must face.

Night Masks: Book 3

Cadderly has run to the city of Carradoon for solace, but he finds himself besieged by the resident assassins, the Night Masks. He and his companion, Danica, must uncover the killer's latest activities and put a stop to them. But the young priest learns more than he wanted to know.

The Fallen Fortress: Book 4

Cadderly is charged with waging war between the combined forces of Carradoon and Shilmista Forest and the fiends of Castle Trinity, the stronghold of his nemesis. Instead he sets off with a small force of his own to conduct a smaller campaign, using his increasingly powerful priestly magic. Neither the journey nor the battle go as easily as planned, and Cadderly must come to terms with both his friends' expectations and with a past he'd almost rather forget.

The Chaos Curse: Book 5

Scholar-priest Cadderly returns to the Edificant Library to find his life shattered. Danica, the library, and Cadderly's own livelihood are at stake as he tries to put the chaos curse to rest for good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNOR!!!

Oh my gosh I can't believe that you are 11 already. That makes me feel so old. It is hard to believe that you are starting to become a young adult. You are 9 years younger than me and yet you are already almost taller than I am. You will definitely be the tallest in the family. There rest of us are all shorties. I really wish I could be there for your birthday, it's depressing to think of how much I have missed since moving to Utah. I really miss all of you guys. I love you so much Connor and I can't wait to see you this summer. Have a fun birthday buddy!
