In 1995, 17-year-old Charlotte 'Charlie' Emily returns to her hometown, Hurricane, Utah, to attend the launch of a scholarship dedicated to her childhood friend Michael Brooks, who was murdered a decade prior alongside four other children at a local family restaurant, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The Silver Eyes was followed by two sequels, The Twisted Ones (2017) and The Fourth Closet (2018), and a graphic novel adaptation in 2019. Digitally self-published in 2015, the novel was published in print by Scholastic the following year before spending four weeks at #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list in Young Adult Paperbacks.

While several elements from the book later carried on to the games, it is considered to be set in a separate continuity. The Silver Eyes is the debut novel of Cawthon and Breed-Wrisley, hired from ghostwriting firm Kevin Anderson & Associates, as well as the first licensed novel based on Five Nights at Freddy's. While investigating the now-abandoned pizzeria, the group find themselves pursued by the killer William Afton, who was never caught, as well as the restaurant's haunted animatronic characters. The novel follows teenager Charlotte 'Charlie' Emily and her childhood friends who return to their hometown of Hurricane, Utah, to commemorate a friend who was murdered at the local Freddy Fazbear's Pizza restaurant ten years ago.

Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes is a horror mystery novel written by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley, based on the Five Nights at Freddy's horror video game series created and developed by Cawthon.
