Novels:

Prince of Wolves

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Both in-universe and out. Radovan is known for his charm with the ladies, and many female readers prefer him to Jeggare.
Animals Hate Him: Most animals, even tame creatures, react harshly to Radovan's attempts at friendship. This changes when Jeggare conjures a spiritual mount for him. Averted with Arnisant, who considers Radovan a friend.
Badass: Radovan.
Betty and Veronica: Azra and Malena, respectively.
Brains and Brawn: Radovan is Jeggare's bodyguard.
Canine Companion
Dark and Troubled Past: Azra.
Famous Ancestor: Radovan, making him the Prince of Wolves.
Fantastic Racism
Fetish Retardant: The less one says about devil-form Radovan's genitalia, the better.
Heterosexual Life Partners: Jeggare and Radovan, to the point they even use the word 'friend'.
Older Than He Looks: Remarked on during the first chapter, justified because of Jeggare's elven father.
Power is Sexy: Radovan, in Malena's eyes.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Radovan and Jeggare (with bonus Hair Contrast Duo), Malena and Azra.
Sand in My Eyes: After discovering that Radovan is still alive, Jeggare tears up. In his journal, he writes that he dried his eyes because of 'ancient grave dust'.
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Jeggare's writing and speech pattern is noticeably more complex than most other characters in the stories.
Stubborn Donkey: She reacts well enough to Azra, but the stubbornness is still there.
The Casanova: Radovan.
The Smart Guy: Jeggare. He can still hold up his end of a fight, though.
The Speechless: Azra, who communicates through a form of Pathfinder gestures.
This Was His True Form: Dragos, after his duel with Jeggare.
Voluntary Shapeshifting

Master of Devils

As a sequel to Prince of Wolves, many of the tropes above apply here as well.

Animal Talk
Dogs Are Dumb: Averted. Arnisant gains more human-like traits and intelligence the longer he stays with the kamis, although it is a temporary effect.
Drunken Master: Radovan goes toe to toe with a prodigiously able drunk in a tavern.
Everything is Worse with Tigers: Jeggare must run for his life and ends up joining a temple to avoid the tigers prowling outside.
Kitsune
Large Ham: Burning Cloud Devil. And how.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The group of kamis. They eventually have a Misfit Mobilization Moment.
Small Annoying Creature: Judge Fang.
The Dragon/The Lancer: Burning Cloud Devil intends to use Radovan as his.
Took a Level in Badass: Both Jeggare and Radovan undergo Training from Hell. Arnisant takes a different road.
Turtle Island: Subverted. It's an actual massive turtle seen at a distance, with no adornment.
Turtle Power: Turtle almost takes down the whole gathering of kamis before he agrees to join their quest.
