Treasure means different things to different people. Right before Marak passes out under the sorcerer’s control, he names what matters most to him: “My wife and son.” On what page does he do this?

The Hollow Kingdom Trilogy
By Clare B. Dunkle. New York: Henry Holt, 2003-5. 3 v.

This is a treasure hunt in 12 questions to celebrate the release of The Hollow Kingdom Trilogy in an inexpensive paperback edition. The prize is the chance to read two new Hollow Kingdom short stories. To participate, you will need all three copies of the trilogy books in front of you, but they can be either hardcover or paperback because the page numbers are the same in both sets.

Read the first clue and find the page where that episode takes place. Type the page number into the box and cluck Submit. If you’re right, the next clue will appear. Proceed from clue to clue until you solve the last clue of the Treasure Hunt. Then a page containing the two new hidden stories will launch.

Dear Danish readers: this treasure hunt only works with the English books. If you would like to read the stories hidden here, but you have only the Danish books with you, send me an email at clare at claredunkle.com and tell me the Danish name for Charm (the golden snake, the King’s Wife Charm) and the Danish name for Catspaw, Kate and Marak’s son. I’ll send you back a link to the hidden stories.

This page requires the technology of web browsers that are less than ten years old. If it absolutely will not display properly for you, here is a page with the same treasure hunt but without all the pretty disappearing tricks.
