Authority Equals Asskicking has been renamed.


* EvilSorcerer: The Marquess is blatantly the master of TheDarkArts and the AuthorityEqualsAsskicking type. He took over the kingdom by force and rules with an iron fist, spreading fear and desolation over the land. He can kill from a distance, with his bare hands or shadow, cast the rain, perform divination to find a way, open doors via telekinesis... He's also a skilled Necromancer who turns Thalès' brothers into obedient ghosts.

Othemar is the old king of Lycènes. He orders his advisor, Marquess Desiderat de Mornemont ("the Marquess"), to make him immortal. With the king's agreement, the Marquess mutilates the seven princes, then tries to kill them and turn them into obediant ghosts. Only the youngest one, Thalès, escapes this fate. When he is mortally wounded by the king's guards, the guards dump him into the "well of the dead". He is saved by Antimée, who brings him to the garden of Pareïza. The magical garden heals him and makes him a seer. The Marquess detects through sorcery that the prince is alive and finds the garden. He absorbes all magical powers of this place but since Thalès defeats him during a swordfight, the Marquess lets Thalès and Antimée fly away. Several years later, the Marquess is at the head of the kingdom, and Thalès tries to find a way to defeat him. Thalès' seer power allows him to understand the Marquis' only weakness: his love for a gipsy girl, Griselda.

This is not a typical HeroicFantasy story: the plot, the universe and the characters are very unique. Sure, you have TheHero and the BigBad, you have SwordsAndSorcery, but maybe because the writer is a woman, she brings something you don't see in classical fantasy adventures. That is why there are a lot of averted or subverted tropes in those books.
