Trivia

 * We might have seen Arra Sails in the book too. When Larten is limping out of the hall on the first night of the Festival of the Undead, there's a female Vampire with a long staff, who asks him to duel with her. It's possible that she is Arra, since her favourite game was the battle with staves on the wooden bar, and we don't know how much older she is than Larten if she is older.
 * Staffen Irve was the Vampire General at the beginning of Hunters of Dusk, who reported about the War of Scars to Darren and Paris Skyle.
 * Yebba was the Vampire who won the howling contest in Trials of Death.
 * When Larten returns to his hometown with Seba and Wester, he sees that the silk factory had been closed, and an abattoir opened in it's place. It is very likely that it is the same abattoir as the one in Tunnels of Blood
 * A reference is made to the Demonata series when Larten asks Seba if demons are real, to which Seba answers, "Well, in five hundred years, I have not seen any.".
