* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Whenever Lily goes into "Lucy" mode. The novel's opening chapter with her escape and the entire climax is built around this trope.
* MoralEventHorizon:
** While Seymon was for the most part an unsympathetic character from the start, his actions in working on the SuperSoldier Wolfbreed program could have been seen as just serving his order, while [[spoiler:raping the female wolfbreeds to fulfill his personal fantasy on virgins]] is unforgivable.
** Darien crosses it fairly quickly when [[spoiler: he kills an entire village to try and bait the Knights. His subsequent deeds are equally heinous, trying to rape Maria, and committing a killing spree in the castle where he frames her.]]
