This is how you can participate in the 2025 treasure hunt…
Will you win the unique prize?
TREASURE HUNT (printed books only)
Make sure to go through every page of Rune S. Nielsen’s books carefully, and you could be the winner of a VERY unique prize!
Inside two of the titles sold at NitriCon and SCI-FI-CON in April 2025, plus certain books sold at previous conventions, you might just notice either a) an out-of-place letter group. A “non-word” that doesn’t belong, or…
b) a letter-sized black rectangle that is also out of place.
Hint 1: The out-of-place letter group and the rectangle are found in the very text of a novel.
Hint 2: Neither can be found in eBooks or in the omnibus editions, though.
It could be a nice forest spirit, a tough dwarven adventurer, a rookie police officer, or something completely different…but whatever the case, it will be unique!

No, Rune S. Nielsen hasn’t begun to write Star Wars Novels. The image was made for Rune’s ad for SCI-FI-CON and shows the God Tiw holding a dwarven-made magical sword while activating a portal (it’s a scene from the book he’s currently writing: Harbingers of Twilight.)
