1. "Vespertilio" The male warrior bats were called "Knights of the Moon", but what were the female bats called?

Answer: Daughters of the Moon

Vesper desperately wants to fight alongside the Knights of the Moon like his father did, but he is too young, so has to stay with the females and the babies.

2. "Blood On The Oak" What type of bird does the Starwife give the Silver Acorn to?

Answer: Peregrine

She does this in order to prevent Morwenna from claiming it and ascending to the throne.

Answer: 4

They are lead by Ysabelle's tutor, Godfrey Gelenos.

4. "Aldertide" What does Lady Ninnia say when her husband asks her what omen the Silver Acorn is?

Answer: "Greenreach has fallen"

5. "Farewell To The Hazel" What is the name of the bat which the Hazel Realm squirrels have captured?

Answer: Heglyr

He later breaks free from his chains and throws himself on a spear, so as not to be made to betray his kind. Hrethel was the bats' leader, Roghan was a great general and military leader, and Vespertillio isn't captured until later.

6. "Through Gorse And Bramble" Which of the following was NOT one of the guards accompanying Lady Ysabelle?

Answer: Lafen

Muin was the squirrel who found Vesper, and was going to kill him until he realised he was just a child. Ulric and Ornus are the first to sense, and fall victim to, the Hobbers.

14. "The Furze Cat" The Ancient tells Vesper his true enemy was not The Starwife, it was in fact who?
