Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What were Boaz's parent's names?

Answer: Avaldamon and Tirzah

Avaldamon was a Cantomancer who seduced Tirzah with tales from the book of the Soulenai.

2. What was Tirzah's (the slave girl) name before Boaz changed it?

Answer: Ysgrave

Boaz often makes a comment that Ysgrave was an ugly name. He changed it to Tirzah because to prove that she could cage glass, Ysgrave carved a goblet of frogs for him.

3. Boaz dies in infinity.

Answer: False

Everybody thinks this near the end, even him. He enters infinity in order to destroy Nzame.

4. What is the "religion" of the One based around?

Answer: Mathematics

The Magi (a type of priest) believe that all life comes from the number one. That is not where it ends though, everything in their world is made in the way of the one: plants are cut into geometric shapes, they cast spells through numbers and they cannot reproduce (the Magi) since it would subdivide the One. All of this and they claim not to worship the One as a God!

5. What does Boaz teach Tirzah when he calls her to his chambers?

Answer: He teaches her how to read and write.

Boaz wants to teach Tirzah how to read and write so that she can read to him the stories from the book of the Soulenai. However, he threatens to kill her if she tells her friends anything that goes on between them.

6. Nzame reincarnates through Boaz and Tirzah's child.

Answer: False

Nzame threatens to cross a bridge between infinity and Tirzah in order to cause more trouble. But this is just a lie. He dies at the end of the book.

7. Do you ever find out Tirzah's father's real name?

Answer: No

Although you find out Tirzah's previous name at the end, the name of her father remains a mystery.

8. What is Boaz's favourite story in the Book of the Soulenai?

Answer: The Song of the Frogs

"The Song of the Frogs" is the story his mother read to him before she died. She had learnt it by heart.

9. The reason Tirzah and her father became slaves was due to Tirzah dropping a vase which would have paid off her father's debt.

Answer: True

Tirzah is haunted by this through most of the novel. She uses this to deal with all the horrible things that happen to her.

10. How does Tirzah's father die?

Answer: He is eaten by Threshold.

Threshold takes the lives of slaves and Magi in order to grow stronger. Tirzah's father is one of the group of eleven that die at the same time. He begins turning to stone which is usually how Threshold ate people.
