Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the fief Alanna comes from?

Answer: Trebond

Naxen is the home of Alanna's friend, Gary. Tirragen is where Alex comes from, and Tremaine is somewhere I made up.

2. What is Alanna's father's name?

Answer: Alan

Lord Alan of Trebond is well-known to be more interested in his books than in his children.

3. Who is Alanna's brother?

Answer: Thom

Thom wanted to be a great sorcerer, and had no interest in becoming a knight. He agreed to trade places with Alanna, so that they could both pursue their dream.

4. George Cooper is the king of the thieves in Corus. What is one of his titles?

Answer: The Rogue

George befriends Alanna, and keeps her secret. He is known as The Rogue, but it seems likely that his enemies call him a lot of other things....

5. What did Duke Gareth lose in the Chamber of the Ordeal?

Answer: A finger

The Ordeal is the last test a squire faces before becoming a knight.

6. Alanna made an enemy very soon after arriving at the palace. What was his name?

Answer: Ralon of Malven

Ralon bullied Alanna constantly, until she learned to fight back. He was later expelled from court.

7. Why did Alanna feel guilty about Francis of Nond's death?

Answer: She didn't use her Gift to stop him dying of the Sweating Sickness

Because of her fear of magic, Alanna didn't heal Francis. However, she was able to use her power to save Prince Jonathon soon after Francis' death, which thwarted Duke Roger's evil plan to steal the throne.

8. Who defeated Alanna in her first freestyle duel?

Answer: Sacherell of Wellam

This was very embarassing moment for Alanna. However, the loss inspired her to work harder than ever, and her next duel was far more successful.

9. Who were the two oldest Ysandir?

Answer: Ylon and Ylanda

The Ysandir were the 'demons' that lived in the Black City, luring young people to their deaths.

10. By the end of the book, which of these people knew that Alanna was a girl pretending to be a boy?

Answer: Sir Myles, Jonathon and George.

Thom, Maude and Coram knew from the start, and George, Eleni Cooper and Prince Jonathon found out the truth, in that order. Myles guessed the truth, but didn't let Alanna know that he knew. If Duke Gareth had found out, she would have been sent home very quickly!
