%%* BalefulPolymorph

* BalefulPolymorph: He and his brothers are turned into swans by Oonagh.

* IncestIsRelative: Ciaran is Niamh's uncle, for all he is only three years older than her. It's the reason the Sevenwaters men prevent Niamh and Ciaran from wedding. [[spoiler: It doesn't work. Once Niamh and Ciaran are reunited after Niamh's escape from Sidhe Dubh, they decide to throw caution to the wind and continue their relationship, because they ''are'' deeply in love and it doesn't matter to them whether their relationship is against the laws of nature or what other people think about it.]]

* IncestIsRelative: Niamh falls in love with Ciaran, a druid-in-training, who also happens to be [[spoiler: her mother's half-brother. As a result, their union is forbidden. Niamh and Ciaran continue it anyway.]]

* NervousWreck: After her marriage to Fionn.

* TrophyWife: What Niamh is to Fionn.

* IncestIsRelative: Averted. Bran and Liadan are related distantly on Red's side of the family, but it's distant enough that it doesn't count as incest.

* AdultFear: Has quite a few doses of this in the series, much more so than his predecessors. First of all, at some point in the past he and Aisling lose twin boys only a day or so after they are born, which hurts them both badly, especially since Aisling had always been longing to give Sean a son. Secondly, his baby son is abducted just days after his birth, which is another blow because of the aforementioned longing for a son, and it's later revealed that the Prince of the Otherworld had planned it to force his own son to return to him and become Prince in his place one day. Because Clodagh has fallen in love with the said son, she is forced into hiding with him on Inis Eala, with the likelihood being that she will never be able to see her parents or her siblings ever again. Years later Sean has to deal with the tricks the Lord of the Oak is playing to lure Cathal to Sevenwaters again which results in important people going missing and a possible war and danger to Sean's family and household.

* {{Seer}}: Liadan is a seer, which means she can scry, see into the future and into people's minds, and also have a hand in the healing of a person's mind (though that takes a large toll on the body). As to be expected, these set of skills come in handy at various points during the events of ''Son of the Shadows''.
