''Split Heirs'', co-written with Creator/EstherFriesner, is a hilarious deconstruction of PrinceAndPauper tropes, with THREE royal babies, one female and two male - the two boys get MosesInTheBulrushes'd, and the girl is brought up as a prince.

* HiddenBackupPrince: In ''Split Heirs'', the King's people believe that twins are a sign of infidelity, so when Queen Artemisia gives birth to ''triplets'', she gives two of them to a nurse who gives them to two other families to raise as commoners. The rest of the book is a hilarious deconstruction of PrinceAndPauper tropes.



* PrinceAndPauper: Parodied and subverted all to heck in ''Split Heirs'', in which there are '''three''' physically identical people (though one is a [[HalfIdenticalTwins girl raised as a boy]]).

* ScienceFantasy: Watt-Evans has called some of his work this, such as ''Literature/WorldsOfShadow'', which has both sci-fi and fantasy parallel universes interact with ours. He's also said he thinks the line is rather arbitrary so a lot of the so-called "science fiction" is really fantasy which involve technological innovations that may be impossible. It's only obviously fantasy to him if something's ''clearly'' impossible according to our scientific knowledge.
