PAIRED FICTION are UNIQUE pairs of fiction – each pair shares the same storyline but they are written from different characters' perspectives, and usually set in different time periods. Key vocabulary is repeated between each paired fiction.

THIS PAIRED FICTION is written from the perspective of four inquisitive friends (in the present) who follow the trail of riddle clues at the ruins of Bloodstone Castle to find the 'treasure' left by the Earl many years earlier.

It is paired with The Riddle of Bloodstone Castle (Level 29) which is written from the perspective of the Earl of Bloodstone Castle in the past, in an effort to protect his treasure from his enemies.
