Hello all. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than I could help me. I looking for books in which Shar or her priests have significant exposure. I already have the crunchy info but I'm looking for a bit more…flavor. (does that make sense?)
So, if someone could point me in the right direction. I would appreciate it.

| Mistress of the Night by Don Bassingthwaite & Dave Gross |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Along with "Mistress of the Night" you could try the Return of the Arch Wizards trilogy. At least one of the Princes of Shade, who are major antagonists, is a cleric of Shar.
Then there is also "Sands of the Soul" in the Sembia series that has a wizard who is a devout follower of Shar as well as an order of clerics who worship Shar without even knowing it.
Mistress of the Night is definitely the best source though. The other books happen to have worshippers of Shar, that book is about worhsippers of shar. |

"Temptation of Elminster", second section by Ed Greenwood and the Sylune chapter in "Silverfall" also by Ed Greenwood (although the second reference only shows a single priestess and the way she does things).

| There's also the Black Bouquet from the Rogues by Richard Lee Byers, which features a member of the Monks of the Dark Moon. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

| Going way book, I believe it was relatively early in the run of the AD&D comic book (and not the FR comics) series published by DC Comics that ran the battle between Shar and Selune during the Time of Troubles. |

| Thank you guys. I had an unread copy of The Temptations of Big E. As ever, Ed possesses a... unique vision. |

It was the "Phases of the Moon" story arc, and it ran from issue 19 to issue 22. |
