* MysteriousMist: Darkfall, aka The Misty Isle
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler: Solen]] pretends to be a drunken fool as [[spoiler: a cover for his work for the Shadowman.]] It also allows him to say things that people [[ObfusicatingInsanity wouldn’t accept from someone sober.]]
* OrderVersusChaos: Otherwise known as Harmony/Song versus Chaos. [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil The basic struggle of the trilogy is to bring the two forces back into balance by strengthening harmony again]]. Harmony is associated with positive emotions, particularly hope, while Chaos is associated with negative emotions. Surprisingly, the strongest of these is indifference.
* Parental Favouritism: Glynn's birth was unexpected and her mother was less than pleased to have twins. Her father who does love her explains that she never really wanted children in the first place because it ended her career as a concert pianist, and can only love Ember because she is a [[FollowInMyFootsteps copy of herself.]]
* PathOfInspiration: The Drakaan {{Cult}} is careful about how they present their philosophy. Unlike many past groups, they started off by simply pointing out some of the many ambiguities in the Legendsong and sparking academic debate. [[SlipperySlopeFallacy From there, their interpretations gradually got increasing controversial]] until they have pretty much turned the Legendsong inside out, painting the [[TheChosenOne Unraveller]] as a demon and the [[GodOfEvil 'Void Guardian']] as their protector.
* PortalPool: Actually the ocean, which when combined with music, moonlight and longing allows you to pass through Lanalor's Portal to Keltor.
*OrderVersusChaos: ProphetEyes: The soulweavers have these, known as silverblindness.
** Ember also has a cateract on her left eye due to her tumour; [[spoiler: it is one of themain religion features identifying her as the [[ChosenOne Unraveller.]] ]]
* PsychicLink: Glynn and [[spoiler: Solen are linked through their bond with the he-feinna.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Particularly in ''Darksong'', Glynn is red and (dark)Ember is blue.
* ReligionOfEvil: At its core, the Draakan {{Cult}} is this, designed to aid and communicate with the [[GodOfEvil Chaos Spirit]] as well as rewrite/reinterpret the Legendsong (Keltan equivalent ofKelter the Bible).
* ReverseMole: [[spoiler: Solen]] is an undercover Shadowman agent while on Acantha
*[[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Rulers Who Actually Do Something]]: Duran is unusually both Chieftain of Myrdmoor and leader of the [[AmazonBrigade myrmidons]]. As such, she travels and takes more risks than most Chieftains. She gained her position as leader of the myrmidons through demonstration of her fighting skills, making it also a case of AuthorityEqualsAsskicking.
* SaveBothWorlds: The Chaos Spirit is gaining strength in both Keltor and Earth after entering Earth through Lanalor's Portal. Only freeing the Unykorn can bring Chaos and Songversus Chaos
[[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil back into balance.]]
* ScryVsScry: Ronaall and the Chaos Spirit
* SealedGoodInACan: Type 2. The Unykorn
* SignificantAnagram: [[spoiler: Ronnaallor Lanalor]]from Lanalor]]
* SplitPersonality: Ember and Dark Ember in ''Darksong''. Dark Ember was created to help Ember deal with the knowledge of her death. When Ember came to Keltor she forgot about her dying and reverted to her original personality; when she regained her memory Dark Ember became a separate personality. Dark Ember can also be seen as the avatar/voice of the Chaos Spirit.
* SplitPersonalityMerge: Ember tries to do this with Dark Ember in ''Darksong'', [[spoiler: but they discover that with the strength her performing gives Ember, they are now too incompatible.]]
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: When Ember regains her memories she allows Dark Ember to take control to protect her from the knowledge of her death. [[spoiler: She later gets control back again.]]
* SuccessionCrisis: Mostly averted by having the Mermod chosen by Darkfall Decree at the same time as the new Holder is confirmed. The idea is that because the Mermod can be chosen from any sept and station it balances out the power.
** Coralyn plans to initiate one by killing/removing Anyi (and Tarsin), with the aim of getting [[ParentalFavouritism Kalide]] on the throne during the ensuing chaos.
* SuperSenses: Part of the enhancements wrought by [[spoiler: the She-feinna for Glynn's link with the [[BondAnimal He-fienna]] ]] are better hearing and sense of smell.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Glynn and Wind. He refused to let it go all the way, knowing that she was not yet ready for it despite what she might think. She was 16, he was mid 20s.
* SplitPersonality: Ember and Dark Ember in ''Darksong''. Dark Ember was created to help Ember deal with the knowledge of her death. When Ember came to Keltor she forgot about her dying and reverted to her original personality; when she regained her memory Dark Ember became a separate personality.

* TheCassandra: Soulweavers are universally out of favour right when the time of the Unraveller approaches.
* TheEmpath: [[spoiler: Glynn's feinna senses]] cause her to become this; she has little control over her projective abilities.
* TheNoseKnows: The Iridomi ‘power’ is a sense of smell strong enough to detect the pharmaceutical properties of plants.
* TheOmnicient: [[SpiritAdvisor Ronaall, Wind]] and [[GodOfEvil theChaos spirit]] are all this to varying extent. Ronaall is the weakest although still able to use the Void to track the possible futures relating to the Legendsong prophecy and subtly influence events towards a favourable outcome. The Chaos spirit is the strongest, although even it can be tricked and distracted.
* TheTopicOfCancer: Ember's brain tumour.
*
* LotsOfCharacters: Although once Glynn gets to Ramadan there is quite a bit of doubling up with characters that Ember met previously.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Literally, Lanalor over Shenavyre. Love is said to be one of the
* MagicMusic: Keltor was created by the Song.
** Fomhikan [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin plant singing]]
** Shennavyre’s singing and beauty captivated the Unykorn
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Poverin (Cheiftain of Fomhika) and Maeve have Bleyd, Gedron, Donard, Torred, Anyi and Rilka
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone?: Lanalor when he realises how he has been tricked into trapping the Unykorn. In the original version of the Legendsong, the shock was enough to send him [[HeelRealization sane.]]

A trilogy by Australian author Isobelle Carmody. Composed of Darkfall and Darksong, with Darkbane yet to be published.
Glynn and Ember are on holiday in Greece, to escape the relentless business of Ember's dying from brain cancer. Upset by Ember's apathy, Glynn goes for a moonlight swim and gets swept away to the world of Keltor, where one group prays for the coming of the Unraveller, a mythic figure from Earth, and another decries strangers as demons.
All Glynn wants is to get home to her sister, but she doesn't realise that Ember has followed her.
----
!! The Legendsong Saga contains examples of:
* ActionGirl: Glynn, and any Myrmidon
* AmazonBrigade: the Myrmidons
* AuraVision: One of the skills soulweavers possess.
* BlindSeer: The main power of the Soulweavers.
* DeadlyDecadentCourt: Iridom, oh so much.
* FishOutOfWater: Glynn, though she learns fast.
* HealingHands: One of the powers a person from Keltor may possess.
* IdiotBall: Glynn, many times. Sure, visit the one person on Keltor who wants you dead more than anything. What could ''possibly'' go wrong?
* TheNoseKnows: Said to be the stock Iridomi power.
* OrderVersusChaos: the main religion of Kelter is Song versus Chaos
* SignificantAnagram: [[spoiler: Ronnaall or Lanalor]]
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: The central dilemma for Glynn and Ember
