* [[spoiler: FindingJudas]]: [[spoiler: Lucius, who betrayed Alger Waterlow to the Bayars out of jealousy. Alger never finds out until a thousand years later, believing it was Halalea.]]

* [[spoiler: FindingJudas: Lucius, who betrayed Alger Waterlow to the Bayars out of jealousy. Alger never finds out until a thousand years later, believing it was Halalea.]]

** Gets ridiculous near the end of the fourth book when Han gives the clan leaders a choice, [[spoiler: either team up with the wizards to stop the aforementioned invasion or he'll have to give the wizards a treasure trove of magical weapons so they can do it alone.]] The Demonai's response to this is to[[DisproportionateRetribution threaten to kill him.]]

* MeaningfulName: [[BurnTheWitch Malthus]] is the name of an Earl of Hell who commands a legion of demons, just like how the church spreads its' influence via conquest.

* BurnTheWitch: The Church of Mathus is ''very'' fond of consigning those who go against their teachings to this fate. That includes both wizards and powerful women. [[spoiler: Melanie]] gets so close to this in book four that it's not even funny.

* StaffChick: Raisa after she takes a level in badass.

* [[spoiler: SacrificialLamb]]: [[spoiler: Mari]]

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Fiona Bayar.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler: Forever burn in the Breaker's clutches, Gavan!]] The scene that goes back to the actual rape is very chilling. It begins [[spoiler: by painting Gavan in a sympathetic light. He's surprised that WIllo is so beautiful, and it looks like there might have been more to the incident than we were originally lead to believe.]] But then [[spoiler: Gavan gives Willo the ring--the one we ''know'' is the magical equivalent to a date rape drug.]] We even hear him say [[spoiler: "Now lets see if we can get all these skins off."]]

* StarCrossedLovers: Raisa and Amon. [[spoiler:And later on, Raisa and Han.]]

* BlatantLies: The Bayars are ''very'' fond of this trope, ''especially'' Gavan. To list a few instances Micah and co started a fire at the start of book one, but they were given an honor for having stopped it; [[spoiler: Gavan initiates the murders of countless wizards and has their bodies dragged to the lower city to make it look like Han did it; he also sets fire to the lower city in the hopes of framing Han; towards the climax of book four, he convinces Micah, ''his own son'', that Han is dead in order to get Raisa to marry him;]] and possibly the most egregious example of all: [[spoiler: the Bayars kidnapped Hanalea and caused the Breaking when they messed with Alger's amulet. They deserved all of the falk so-called Demon King got, not Alger.]]

* WhatBeautifulEyes: Han. Cinda leaps on every opportunity to describe how breathtakingly beautiful they are.

Book four, ''The Crimson Crown,'' is slated to be released in October 2012. The plot focuses mainly on the large tension caused by Han's sheer presence in [[spoiler: the Fellsian Court]], as well as the fact that he's found a powerful object that could possibly unite the Fells once and for all. But can he do so before he's assassinated? Meanwhile, the different forces within the Fells are in perpetual conflict and can only seem to agree on one thing: [[spoiler: They want Han Alistar out of the picture.]] Should Raisa sacrifice [[spoiler: the man she loves for the sake of peace]] or allow the Fells to fall into civil war?

* [[spoiler:ChildbyRape]]: [[spoiler:Gavan Bayer raped Willo, making Dancer one of these.]]

* BlueEyes: Han. Cinda leaps on every opportunity to describe how [[WhatBeautifulEyes breathtakingly beautiful]] they are. 

* StarCrossedLovers: Raisa and Amon. [[spoiler:And later on, Raisa and Han.]]

* StarCrossedLovers: Raisa and Amon.

Book four, ''The Crimson Crown,'' is slated to be released in October 2012. The plot focuses mainly on the large tension caused by Han's sheer presence in [[spoiler: the Fellsian Court]], as well as the fact that he's found a powerful object that could possibly unite the Fells once and for all. But can he do so before he's assassinated?

Book two, ''The Exiled Queen,'' follows Han and Raisa as they attempt to escape the political turmoil in their home by attending the world-famous schools at [[AcademyOfAdventure Oden's Ford.]] Han meets a powerful and mysterious ally mysteriously called Crow, who comes offering to teach him to [[spoiler:use his magic effectively]] -- and aid with his vendetta against the Bayars. Meanwhile, at the same school, Raisa works to [[TookALevelInBadass take a level in badass]]. As Raisa and Han eventually meet [[spoiler: again, with Raisa still living under a false identity for her safety]], a [[spoiler:romance, as well as a spiraling rivalry between each of them and the Bayars]] develops that could threaten both of their lives.

Book three, ''The Gray Wolf Throne'' initially focuses more so on Raisa as she travels back home in order to ascend to the throne. All the while, she's pursued by assassins that wish to prevent this. Alistar risks his life to help her, and has to quickly adapt to the cut-throat world of BlueBlood politics. 

Book four, ''The Crimson Crown'' is slated to be released during October of 2012. The plot focuses mainly on the large tension Alistar's prescience in [[spoiler: The Fellsian Court]] is causing, as well as the fact that he's found a powerful object that could possibly unite the Fells once and for all. But can he do so before he's assassinated?

* AlphaBitch: ''Micah''[[hottip:*: Gavan Bayar's ''son!'']] of all people fits this trope! At Oden's Ford, when he realizes that his status back home won't get him anywhere with the staff, he quickly adopts a few BitchInSheepsClothing tendencies. With the [[spoiler: Wizard]] students, he takes advantage of Han's past and tells everyone that Han's a street rat and a murderous thug. [[spoiler: Albeit this is somewhat true; Han ''did'' try to kill Micah's father, but Micah conviniently leaves out how Gavan is responsible for the ''successful'' muder of Han's family.]] This actually works to Han's advantage in the most part since he doesn't really care what other people think about him. Most students leave Han alone, and his past makes him somewhat of a MemeticSexGod in the eyes of the female students at Oden's Ford. [[FoeYay Including Fiona Bayar.]]

* ChickMagnet: As of book three, Han has has a grand total of ''six'' separate named girls hit on him, not counting the ''many'' nameless ones, [[spoiler: both street rats and Bluebloods alike]] mentioned in the narration. 
* CoveredWithScars: Han appears to have a lot of scars from his time as streetlord of the Raggers. Raisa notices one above his right eye often, but all he's said about it is that he "took a risk". 

* FantasticDrug: Silver Leaf. 

* InSeriesNickname: Raisa also goes by Rai when with her close friends.
