5	!! ''The Rogue King'' contains examples of:
6
7	* AndIMustScream: As if being possessed by an insane god isn't enough. Being forced into unspeakable acts when you're a child just might.
8	* AfterActionPatchup: When Veng is attacked and injured whilst trying to save Lasil, she's one the who tends to the wound and then attempts to seduce him. [[spoiler: It doesn't work as planned]].
9	* AntiHero: Koral... or Veng as he's known through most of the novel.
10	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Several kicking about. Lorric is the God of Lust, Meka is the God of Miracles, Evalka is the Star(Goddess) of Night, Latesha is their Devil, and the All Mother is the TopGod.
11	* BigBad: Lorric, hands down... seeing that he [[spoiler:possesses]] Koral and forces him to [[spoiler:rape and kill]].
12	* CatFolk: The katess.
13	* ChaoticNeutral: Dude is the king of a bad bunch, yet he's not above [[spoiler:rescuing people from them]].
14	* CoveredWithScars: It's mentioned a number of times that Veng has numerous scars thanks to having to constant fight for his life.
15	* DealWithTheDevil: Pretty mild in that he trades his shadow for wings. Of course, this promises to cause ramifications later as his shadow can basically [[spoiler:harbour a demon]].
16	* DemonicPossession: How Lorric turns Koral into a Rogue.
17	* DraconicHumanoid: The raptereons. Some fly, others can even breathe fire.
18	* FantasyContraception: It's not revealed what's in them, but there are potions.
19	* FantasyPantheon: There are nineteen deities in this world. Whilst the All Mother and the Devil are the highest, the majority are divided into two hierarchies:
20	** The Serpent Gods. Eight in total, though only a few are named so far. They are: Lorric, the God of Lust; Meka, the God of Miracles; Dek is another. Not much is known beyond them being related to each other and Lorric being the most powerful amongst them.
21	** The Stars. These are the daughters of destiny and granddaughters to the All Mother. There are six in total, but only Evalka is named.
22	* FunctionalMagic: Healers for the most part have HealingHands. And VoluntaryShapeshifting.
23	* GreatOffscreenWar: The whole continent was under the rule of one empire, which fell 2000 years ago and still left some treaties intact.
24	* HighPriest: Shirain. As the High Priestess of the God of Lust, she's pretty much responsible for the Koral's current state.
25	* HealingHands: What with being healers, Jayien and [[spoiler:Hianin]] have this power.
26	* HellishHorse: Vampire horse, anyone?
27	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Koral and [[spoiler:Lasil]].
28	* HumanoidAliens: Everyone who isn't an actual human appears to have a human resemblance.
29	* InterspeciesRomance:
30	** Cesei and Koral, given that she's a raptereon and he's, at the very least, a hybrid.
31	** Seems to be rife in the desert communities.
32	%%* JerkassGod: Lorric.
33	* LizardFolk: Also the raptereons. The non-flying, non-fire breathing ones.
34	* MayDecemberRomance: Koral is thrice [[spoiler:Lasil's]] age and, presumably, has only ten more years to live.
35	* MotherlyScientist: Amelia not only genetically makes Koral, but also gives birth to and raises him. Literally saying "He is my son".
36	* OhMyGods: Stars seems to be a popular swear.
37	* OurCentaursAreDifferent: The equineans.
38	* PhysicalGod: Evalka, Lorric, Latesha, All Mother.
39	* SheIsAllGrownUp: Koral's reaction to [[spoiler:Lasil]].
40	* SnakePeople: The Sssstamne. [[SssssnakeTalk Any hissing sound is denoted by three S's.]]
41	* TheGreatWall: Two walls hem in the continents desert, designed to keep out the natives.
42	* TopGod: What else could someone known as the All Mother possibly be?
43	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Practically every creature can turn into a more animalistic form. The exception being hybrids.
