Quadrilogy is a nonce Word in which does not exist in the English language.

Nonce Words frequently arise through the combination of an existing Word with a familiar prefix or suffix, in order to meet a particular need (or as a joke). The result is a special kind of pseudo Word: although it would not be found in any dictionary it is instantly comprehensible.

The correct term for a Trilogy in which a 4th title has been added to the works would be called a "Tetralogy"

As an alternative to "tetralogy", "quartet" is sometimes used, particularly for series of four books. The term "quadrilogy", a nonce Word basing the prefix on latin prefix quadri- instead of the Greek prefix, and has also been used for marketing series of movies, such as the Alien series and Die Hard series.
