Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If Audrey is right, and the Shadow World is one of Norse Mythology's nine worlds, then which world does Julian live on?

Answer: Niflheim

L. J. Smith messed up on her mythology. She had Niflhiem and Hel as two separate worlds and left out Nidvillar. Niflheim and Hel is the same world; it just began being called Hel because it was ruled by the Goddess named "Hel" (or in some texts "Hela") in the way Hades ruled Hades.

2. How would you describe Julian?

Answer: Vivid blue eyes, white hair, elemental voice

Julian had indescribable blue eyes, white hair like snow (even though he did have dark roots and eyebrows), and an elemental voice like water running over rock.

3. Who did Julian fall in love with?

Answer: Jenny Thornton

Julian caught a glimpse of her when she was five and ever since then has longed for her. He kept her safe, and one day while doing this he seized his moment. Of course, kidnapping Jenny and her friends wasn't the best way to get her to fall in love with him - but he didn't know any better.

4. Where was Julian when he wore a bangle around his upper arm?

Answer: The Tunnel of Love and Despair

This is pictured on the original US cover art for "The Kill".

5. Complete the quote by Julian: "Reality has teeth and claws, and since that's true, wouldn't you rather be one of the _____ than one of the _____?"

Answer: Hunters; hunted

That is one of my absolute favorite quotes EVER. I had to include it. As for Julian, he can hunt me any day - I'm willing prey for him - Yum.

6. In whose nightmare did Julian not make a cameo appearance?

Answer: Michael's

The only nightmares Julian definitely showed up in were Dee's, Audrey's, Jenny's, and possibly Zach's. Tom had two nightmares: rats and losing Jenny - Julian was present for both.

7. Julian has two lackeys: The Creeper and The Lurker. What kind of animals are they?

Answer: Snake, wolf

These creatures play a critical role in "The Chase". Tom destroys them.

8. What is NOT one of the names Julian uses in a riddle to tell what he is?

Answer: Djinn

From 'The Hunter': "I'm a Visitor from the stars. I'm the Erlking. I'm Loki. I'm Puck. I'm the Hunter. I'm The Shadow Man. I'm your nightmares come true."

Shadow Men are also known as demons, Djinn, and the boogie man. They have been called different names throughout the ages.

9. Who did Julian kidnap at the end of 'The Chase'?

Answer: Tom and Zach

Julian was furious that he had been beaten twice, so he took Tom (Jenny's boyfriend) and Zach (Jenny's cousin)so that he could ensure a final round, confident that he'd be the victor.

10. Julian compares himself to which Greek God?

Answer: Hades

He uses the myth about Hades falling in love with and kidnapping Persephone as a metaphor for his loving and taking of Jenny.

11. Julian didn't appear in 'The Chase' until page 100 exactly. Where was he at during this part of the story?

Answer: The Prom

He intercepted Jenny from her date at the Senior Prom and got her out on the balcony alone. She thinks he is so furious with her he'd kill her, but instead he says he has come to claim her. I don't know what her problem was, really. I'd give in during chapter 1.

12. What did Julian reveal as the name of the first game? (From 'The Hunter').

Answer: Goats and Tigers

Lambs and Monsters is the second game.

13. Which rune did Julian use to create an torch out of thin air?

Answer: Kenaz

Kenaz was the rune of fire. Uruz was used to walk between worlds. Isa was used to create ice. Nauthiz was the rune of restraint.

14. Gebo is the rune that stands for love, death, sacrifice, and a gift. What was Julian's gift to Jenny?

Answer: Life

Julian sacrificed himself so that she could live. Awwwwwwww. I was mad. I think that Tom should have been the sacrifice - a much happier ending.

15. How can a Shadow Man be "killed"?

Answer: Carving out his name

A Shadow man is neither born nor does he die. His name is carved onto a rune stave and thus he is brought into existence as a young man with indescribable beauty and into perfection. Over a time, however, Shadow Men begin to warp in appearance to match the horrible deeds that have been done.

The only way to destroy a Shadow Man is to remove his name from the Stave of Life. Julian was the youngest of his race.
