Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Alec tells his mother that Gillian calls him "honey bear". Who used to call Gillian the same endearment?

Answer: William

When Gillian was young and her father was alive, she and her sister, Christen, had their own guards. The guards called Christen "golden girl". But William gave Gillian the "silly nickname" of "honey bear".
2. What is the name of the unfortunate MacDonald solider that was sent to deliver Gillian's message to Brodrick?

Answer: Henley

Henley happened upon Gillian at Len's Holding. He is given the mission of telling Brodrick that his bride is awaiting him. All of the Buchanan guards do their best to scare the messenger and succeed. The scariest part by far was telling the Buchanan Laird that his lady "commands you to hurry".
3. Which man is NOT a member of Brodrick's guard?

Answer: Patrick

All of the guards identify themselves to Gillian in the clearing they camp in after going to Annie Drummond's cottage. The men are: Dylan, Robert, Keith, Fingal, Ossian, Stephen, Aaron and Liam. Patrick is Iain Maitland's brother.
4. What initial reaction does Judith have to her son Alec's return from the dead?

Answer: She faints dead away

Judith faints and hits the floor before anyone can catch her. With his arms occupied with his son, Iain tells Brodrick to go pick her up.
5. True or False: Gillian is afraid of knives.

Answer: False

Gillian's fear is of heights. She gets ill when she looks down from great heights. When she rescues Alec from the gorge she admits to her fear and again when she is riding to Ramsay's holding.
6. What is the name of the girl that Ramsay is thinking about marrying?

Answer: Meggan

Ramsey united the Sinclair and MacPherson clans and the old MacPhersons, Otis and Brisbane, tried to cajole the laird to form a stronger alliance through marriage. They propose that Ramsey marry a girl from their clan named Meggan MacPherson. Since it is a very rational reason, Ramsey gives it due consideration. That is before he falls in love with Bridgid.
7. Gillian gets upset that she and Brodrick get married without her knowledge. What is her biggest complaint?

Answer: It was done on horseback

When Father Laggan unwittingly breaks the news to Gillian that she is indeed married, she seems incensed that it was done on a horse. When she does get over her anger she asks Brodrick what she will tell their future children when they ask about the wedding.
8. According to Brodrick, what must a wife do?

Answer: Whatever her husband orders her to do

When Brodrick is trying to pry the names of the three English barons from Gillian, she refuses. She also learns that her husband's views on marriage include a wife doing what her husband commands. To which she pertly denies, "This wife doesn't."
9. According to Gillian what DOESN'T a husband do?

Answer: Curse

During their tiff about the barons, Brodrick says 'damn'. Gillian tells him that husbands don't curse in front of their spouses. Brodrick can't help but reply, "This husband does."
10. True or False: Gillian is struck in the thigh by an arrow when she and Bridgid go to locate Christen.

Answer: True

Anthony sends Durston and Faudron to kill Gillian. During the ambush, Bridgid falls from her horse and Gillian is skewered to her saddle with an arrow through the thigh. When Brodrick arrives, he slices the arrow with his sword to free her.
11. What is the name attached to the jeweled box that Gillian seeks?

Answer: Arianna

Arianna was King John's mistress. He presented her with the clever, jeweled box to put a lock of her hair in. The box was stolen the night she was murdered and John looked for it for years. Alford charges Gillian with the quest of retrieving the box from her sister in exchange for her uncle's safety.
12. What is the name of the treatment that Gillian endures at Annie Drummond's cottage?

Answer: Mother's fire

Annie Drummond is known in the Highlands for her healing. She has a fast way of healing infected wounds that usually she only uses on warriors. Gillian demands the fast treatment known as mother's fire.
13. Whose sword kills Baron Alford?

Answer: Iain's

While King John wields the sword, the weapon belongs to Iain Maitland. John asks to borrow the laird's sword and rings a confession out of Alford.
14. Who is the Highlands traitor?

Answer: Gideon

Gideon, Ramsay's commander, arranges for Ramsay's brother to be captured and brought to Baron Alford. In Gideon's mind, he should have ruled over the clan instead of Ramsay.
15. What staggering sacrifice does Brodrick offer to Gillian in the final chapter?

Answer: He will live in England

Gillian is taken aback by Brodrick's offer. She turns him down flat, letting him know that she wants to live in the Highlands with his clan.
