Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When we first meet Terisa Morgan, where is she doing volunteer work?

Answer: A church mission office

Morgan is bored when the story opens. She looks around the place and wonders if she really makes any difference. Morgan also gets support from her father, but the charity work at the center provides her with something to do.

2. Why does Terisa have so many mirrors at home?

Answer: To reassure herself that she exists

Morgan has begun to feel that her place in life is meaningless. The profusion of mirrors is not, for her, a sign of vanity. Rather, they remind her that she is not fading away.

3. Terisa has trouble remembering something. What is it?

Answer: Most of her dreams

When we meet Terisa, she does not find this condition to be a relief. It adds to her sense that her life is becoming less important in the 'real' world.

Answer: He needs her help

The young man is an apprentice craftsman, from the country of Mordant. He says he thought Terisa was a magician, because she owns so many mirrors.

5. Who is the king of Mordant?

Answer: Joyse

The king is in failing health. Many in the country fear that he will not be able to fend off challenges to his power.

6. Who are the Congery?

Answer: Mordant's council of magicians

The Congery oversees the use of mirrors for teleportation, among other functions. It takes years of training and experience in magic in order to become part of this council.

7. Mordant is suffering which of the following crises?

Answer: Someone is using mirrors to bring monsters into the land

In the hands of unscrupulous people, mirrors can be turned toward evil as well. Though there are other problems afoot in Mordant, the wave of violence from the monsters is among the worst.

8. Of the following, who is *not* one of the daughters of the king?

Answer: Lila

The relationship between the king and his children resembles the setting of Shakespeare's "King Lear." There is no character named Lila in "The Mirror of Her Dreams."

9. What is the name of the royal family's castle?

Answer: Orison

Much of the first novel in the series is set here. In the sequel, "A Man Rides Through," we see other locales. The word "Orison" means prayer.

10. Toward the close of the novel, which of the following has also become a problem in Mordant?

Answer: The country is on the brink of war

The king's poor health and the attacks by monsters left the country vulnerable to other threats. In the second book of the series, "A Man Rides Through," the war takes up much of the story.
