Hilari Bell is an American science fiction and fantasy writer.

!!Works by Hilari Bell with their own trope pages include:
* ''FarsalaTrilogy''
* ''Literature/KnightAndRogueSeries''
* ''Literature/TheGoblinWood''
!!Other works by Hilari Bell provide examples of:
* ActionGirl: Pretty much all her central heroines eventually fall into this category sooner or later.
* AllMenArePerverts: When Raven is traveling with Kelsa as a boy in ''Trickster's Girl'' she mentions that he's cute once and he's only described again to explain his different transformations. When he becomes a girl in order to work with Jason an incredible amount of attention goes towards her butt and the fact that she's naked after transforming.
* ArrangedMarriage: Sabri is engaged to marry Prince Dravik, the emperor's heir and an all-around creep. Her brother spends most of the book trying to get her out of it. [[spoiler: He fails, and she takes matters into her own hands.]]

* FieryRedhead: Sabri; Ahvren lampshades it by remembering an old myth that red-haired Vivitare are the descendants of a volcano god.
* GenderBender: Raven, in order to more effectively deal with the shift to a male lead in ''Traitor's Son'', becomes a girl.
* GenreSavvy: Most of her characters are smart enough to take note of what's going on - unless they're being too clever for their and the plot's own good, at which point they become WrongGenreSavvy.

* HappilyAdopted: Although Sabri's relationship with her adoptive parents has soured by the time of ''A Matter of Profit'', she and her brother Ahvren remain close.
* HumansAreWarriors: In ''Songs of Power'', Imina warns [[spoiler: the whales]] that if they plan on destroying humanity they should be ready for one hell of a [[strike: fight]] war on their hands. At the very least, it would be a PyrrhicVictory for them if they tried.
* HumansByAnyOtherName: The Vivitare in ''A Matter of Profit''.
* KingIncognito: Edoran, in ''Crown of Earth''
* LampshadeHanging: In ''Shielf of Stars'' Weasle expresses his doubt that they'll find a hidden tunnel in the castle, since that only happens in bad 3 book novels. They promplty find a hidden tunnel.
* LordErrorProne: ''A Matter of Profit'', ''Knight & Rogue'', ''The Prophecy''...

* YouAreACreditToYourRace: This is Raven's favorite trope in ''Trickster's Girl''. Whenever Kelsa tries to point out that even if he's trying to compliment her, she finds the condescending way he talks about humans while doing so to be incredibly insulting, he seems not to get what the problem is.
