Synopsis

The fourth book in the Cleric Quintet follows Cadderly as he intends to attack Castle Trinity and confront the "Evil League of Evil," but first gets sidetracked destroying an evil artifact from the previous novel. After dealing with this detour, he and his companions finally mount their direct assault on the main antagonists' fortress.
