Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of Merry's guards has double-lidded eyes (so he can blink twice)?

Answer: Barinthus

Barinthus was a god of the the sea. He also has webbed hands and swims like a fish. Though if you want to keep your health, I would NOT say that in his hearing. He's rather sensitive since a journalist called him "Fish-Man." The journalist drowned. In a completely calm lake. With no wind. Get it?
2. Who is the Green Knight?

Answer: Galen

Galen is the son of a sidhe and a pixie. He has green hair, green eyes, and a faint green tint to his skin. He was one of the Queen's Ravens and is now attached to Merry's court.
3. Whose livery is a spider?

Answer: Doyle

In "Kiss of Shadows", Doyle saves Merry by sending his spiders through a mirror to distract the man who was raping her.
4. Queen Andais likes to call her guards by pet names; who is 'My Darkness'?

Answer: Doyle

Doyle has hair, eyes, and skin that is utterly black, not brown. He is darker than the night.
5. Queen Andais likes to call her guards by pet names; who is 'My Creature'?

Answer: Sholto

Sholto's father is a nightflyer (think giant bat). He has a mass of dozens of tentacles on his lower torso, some as big as arms, some as small as fingers. Otherwise he is completely beautiful and perfect.
6. As far as we know in these two books, who is the oldest of Merry's guards? (Think carefully)

Answer: Rhys

Rhys was one of the 'old Gods' who emigrated to the British Isles. He is thousands of years older than Doyle and Frost, who are the next oldest. Galen is only a mere 100 years old (practically a babe in arms). Rhys acts young, though; he goes to movies and is a real film noir fan. He is the only one who does not make Merry feel like an infant.
7. Nicca is a beautiful chocolate brown. He has extensive markings on his back, almost like a tattoo but genetic. What is the design?

Answer: butterfly wings

Nicca's father was of the demi-fey. (Think butterfly fairy)
8. Kitto is half-goblin and half-sidhe. Why is he in Merry's entourage of men?

Answer: To seal the goblin alliance between Kurag and Merry

One of the things Merry has to do to make the Alliance is to share flesh with a goblin. In goblin culture, this can mean intercourse or taking a bite of someone. Merry starts off with a bite, but Kitto starts to fade (die) away from the fairy courts. Thus, they end up more intimate than Merry intended as it is the only way to save Kitto (and the Alliance between her and Kurag). Merry is nothing if not polically savvy; besides, she has come to care for Kitto.
9. Doyle is descended from the Hellhounds and what other non-sidhe fey?

Answer: Phouka

His grandfather was a phouka so evil that he bred in hound form with a Hellhound. Doyle's aunt is a hellhound. A phouka can take the form of a dog or a horse.
10. Who was Merry's fiance for seven years?

Answer: Griffin

Griffin was sleeping around on Merry because she wasn't magical enough-- her glow, her shine, her power was lesser (according to him). Did I mention that he is the ex-fiance? Merry got tired of it and dumped him. The Queen offers Griffin to Merry as part of her new contingent of guards, but Merry says no way.
11. Which guard does Merry realize that she is in love with in "Caress of Twilight?"

Answer: Frost

Of course being in love does not mean that they can be together. Merry has to marry the man who makes her pregnant. Sidhe marry for fertility, not love. If Frost isn't the father of her child, then Merry cannot have him.
12. Doyle was a past consort of Queen Andais.

Answer: False

Queen Andais never chose Doyle for a consort because she feared that Doyle was too strong to be near the throne. She feared that Doyle would be a true King, and she did not want to share her power. Also, she did not want to risk having puppies.
13. Which guard has silver hair like Christmas tree tinsel?

Answer: Frost

Rhys and Sholto--white hair; Doyle-- black. Merry describes Frost's hair as looking harsh and wiry, but feeling softer than silk.
14. Sage is part of Merry's court as an envoy from what ruler?

Answer: Queen Niceven of the Demi-fey

Sage is there to deliver the cure for Galen (who was tortured by the demi-fey on behalf of Prince Cel) and to take Merry's weekly blood offering for her alliance with the demi-fey.
15. Which of the guards does Merry leave at the Unseelie Court to work on her behalf when she goes back to LA?

Answer: Barinthus

He's being called "Barinthus Queenmaker." He's survived several assassination attempts. Of course, he is very old and very powerful, and no one you want to mess with.
16. Which of Merry's guards has no political savvy or awareness AT ALL? (Merry is afraid that if she makes him King that he would be assassinated within the month.)

Answer: Galen

Though Merry has loved him since she was 14, her father refused to make him her fiance, because of this liability. Instead, he chose Griffin for her. Look at how well that turned out.
17. Which guard was once known as Lord of Relics?

Answer: Rhys

Relic means "corpse". Rhys was a death deity. He lost almost all of his powers to the Nameless when the courts created it to remove much of the more unpleasant powers before they emigrated to America. He became very much... reduced. He took on a new name and persona.

At the end of "Caress of Twilight", Rhys received his powers back in a rush of wild magic when they defeated the Nameless. Rhys now talks to empty rooms... and they answer back.
18. Killing Frost carries the enchanted sword Grimreagh Po'. What does the name mean?

Answer: Winter's Kiss

Its effect is that it steals all of the passion from the enemy- a fate worse than death for many sidhe.
19. Which guard swears that he will fade before he will go back to Andais?

Answer: Frost

Merry promises to protect Frost, protect all her guards. An oath to the fey is not lightly taken. Frost begs her not to be foresworn for him by making a promise that she cannot fulfill. However, at the end of Book Two, Andais gives Merry all her guards in gratitude for them having contained the Nameless.
20. Which of Merry's guards is Queen Andais' personal spy?

Answer: Nicca

One of the conditions to allow Merry to return to the West Coast was to take along a spy. And yes, she has to sleep with him. The first spy was Griffin. Merry said absolutely not. The second spy was Pasco, who tries to assassinate Merry. The third spy was Nicca, who Doyle picked out, and Merry is pretty happy with him. I mean, in comparison, how could he be worse?
