!!The Lost Redeemer provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbandonedMine: Starglade has one of these.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: It's said that Ethereum blades can cut through steel like paper. Unfortunately, these blades have become a LostTechnology over the centuries.
* TheAce: Elias. He's handsome, friendly, flirtatious, and considered to be the best student duelist in Whitecliff Academy. During his sister's POV chapters, she often remarks how easy things come to him.
* ActionGirl: Ciena and Relyn both fit this role.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Most of the book is told from Nahlia’s perspective with the occasional chapter from Thane or Ciena. But towards the end of the novel, there are several chapters from [[spoiler: Nahlia’s father’s]] point of view.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Codex.
* BadassBookworm: Nahlia starts out the first book as a librarian’s apprentice. She goes on to learn Ethermancy from books since few living people believe in the lost magic.
* BaldOfEvil: The Templar officer, Gallow, is pretty much of the epitome of this trope. The trope is {{subverted}} with Marwyn, however.
* BattleInTheRain: It rains during Wolfe Clan’s match against Howler Clan, then again when the [[spoiler: Templars attack Whitecliff.]]
* BrotherSisterTeam: Elias and Ciena.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Not just a single technique, but literally all of Ethermancy.
* DragonsAreDivine: {{Subverted}}: Dragons are just a type of animal. Their exact level of intelligence isn't clear, beyond understanding pieces of human/Aeon language.
* DualWielding: Elias constantly fights with two swords.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Whitecliff has many underground tunnels and chambers including a harbor, a library, and a secret tomb.
* EvilUncle: Cladius Raider.
* FakeOutMakeOut: When Elias and Nahila are interrupted during their search for forbidden books, they decided this might get them in less trouble.
* FantasticRacism: Many of the Aeons regard humans as inferior.
* FighterMageThief: Ciena, Nahlia, and Kira, respectively. Although Book 1's female leads are never in the same place at the same time, they all fit their roles. In Book 2, Relyn fills in the role of thief.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Nahlia is surrounded by water in the moment she [[spoiler: resurrects Elias.]] Thane is surrounded by fire in the moment [[spoiler: Kira dies.]]
* GenderIsNoObject: In Aeon culture, men and women both study martial arts and serve in the military. {{Averted}} with the humans, as we only see male Templars.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Nahlia is half-Aeon, half-human
* HeroesPreferSwords: Many of the Aeons fight with swords even as the humans develop more modern weapons like firearms.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Despite the setting being more European inspired than Japanese, katanas are the primary weapon of choice for Aeons. Many katana-wielding Aeons are able to hold their own against their gun-wielding opponents.
* KillItWithFire: Being a Sanctifier who can manipulate energy with his mind, Thane uses fire as his primary weapon.
* KnowledgeBroker: Casella Raider and Marabella Lawguard both fit this role. Each woman runs a spy network and always seems to know what the other characters are up to.
* LookingBusy: In the beginning of the book, Nahlia's pretends to be scrubbing a table while she's eavesdropping on Thane's conversation with the locals.
* {{Ninja}}: The Sile’zhar are an elite group of assassins from the east who are clad in black from head to toe, leaving a narrow slit for their eyes.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Nahlia survives several dangerous situations that would have been lethal for most people. Most notably [[spoiler: taking a bullet in the chest, then falling into a river from dozens of feet up.]] {{Justified|Trope}} due to [[spoiler: her healing abilities]]
* NotoriousParent: Nahlia finds out that her father deserted the Templar Order (the very faction that's currently hunting her.)
* PreMeeting: Nahlia sees Thane at the beginning of the book, although she's unaware of his identity. She doesn't learn his name until later when he finds her in the Ethereal.
* SequelHook: The first book has several of these.
** Nahlia [[spoiler: finds out that her mother is still alive]]
** Thane [[spoiler: swears an oath to take Nahlia to Dragonshard to see her mother.]]
** Ciena [[spoiler: witnesses her twin brother die, then gets captured by the Templars.]]
** Cole [[spoiler: is tasked with uniting the Aeons and humans against the invaders.]]
* StreetSmart: Kira. Growing up as a slave on the island city of Kalamir, she's used to dangerous urban environments. In one chapter, she's able to climb out her window and follow Thane at night without being seen. She's later noticed by Joron, another StreetSmart character.
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Nahlia fits this role for a good portion of the series. All of her abilities revolve around [[WhiteMagic healing and protection]] in some way. Even when she's learning combat in Whitecliff Academy, she takes a more pacifist approach and prefers not to to hurt anyone.
* WizardingSchool: Subverted: The Aeons have a secret academy, but the use of their magic is outlawed here, and all mention of it is removed from the library.
* XanatosGambit: A foreign ruler orchestrated a war between Reverie’s two strongest races: the humans, and the Aeons who ruled over them. If the Aeons won the war, they would be without their armies. If the humans won the war, they would be without their leaders. Either way, the continent was weakened.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In Book 2, when they go to rescue [[spoiler: Ciena from the Templars]] they get there too late and discover that someone else found her first.

Seventeen-year-old Nahlia Cole is a member of a hunted race, forced to come out of hiding to infiltrate a secret northern academy.
Nahlia's race has a mysterious ability known as Ethermancy—the skill to enter others' dreams and to bring that power to the physical realm. This is the reason her race is hunted, and Nahlia does everything she can to unravel its secrets. Scouring the ancient library for missing books, and proving herself to the old masters for training.
Now, the human armies are marching north. War is inevitable, hostages are taken, and traitors exist on both sides. As the intentions of her enemy become clearer, Nahlia is forced to choose between her family and the future of her entire race.

!!The Lost Redeemer provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbandonedMine: Starglade has one of these.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: It's said that Ethereum blades can cut through steel like paper. Unfortunately, these blades have become a LostTechnology over the centuries.
* TheAce: Elias. He's handsome, friendly, flirtatious, and considered to be the best student duelist in Whitecliff Academy. During his sister's POV chapters, she often remarks how easy things come to him.
* ActionGirl: Ciena and Relyn both fit this role.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Most of the book is told from Nahlia’s perspective with the occasional chapter from Thane or Ciena. But towards the end of the novel, there are several chapters from [[spoiler: Nahlia’s father’s]] point of view.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Codex.
* BadassBookworm: Nahlia starts out the first book as a librarian’s apprentice. She goes on to learn Ethermancy from books since few living people believe in the lost magic.
* BaldOfEvil: The Templar officer, Gallow, is pretty much of the epitome of this trope. The trope is {{subverted}} with Marwyn, however.
* BattleInTheRain: It rains during Wolfe Clan’s match against Howler Clan, then again when the [[spoiler: Templars attack Whitecliff.]]
* BrotherSisterTeam: Elias and Ciena.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Not just a single technique, but literally all of Ethermancy.
* DragonsAreDivine: {{Subverted}}: Dragons are just a type of animal. Their exact level of intelligence isn't clear, beyond understanding pieces of human/Aeon language.
* DualWielding: Elias constantly fights with two swords.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Whitecliff has many underground tunnels and chambers including a harbor, a library, and a secret tomb.
* EvilUncle: Cladius Raider.
* FakeOutMakeOut: When Elias and Nahila are interrupted during their search for forbidden books, they decided this might get them in less trouble.
* FantasticRacism: Many of the Aeons regard humans as inferior.
* FighterMageThief: Ciena, Nahlia, and Kira, respectively. Although Book 1's female leads are never in the same place at the same time, they all fit their roles. In Book 2, Relyn fills in the role of thief.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Nahlia is surrounded by water in the moment she [[spoiler: resurrects Elias.]] Thane is surrounded by fire in the moment [[spoiler: Kira dies.]]
* GenderIsNoObject: In Aeon culture, men and women both study martial arts and serve in the military. {{Averted}} with the humans, as we only see male Templars.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Nahlia is half-Aeon, half-human
* HeroesPreferSwords: Many of the Aeons fight with swords even as the humans develop more modern weapons like firearms.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Despite the setting being more European inspired than Japanese, katanas are the primary weapon of choice for Aeons. Many katana-wielding Aeons are able to hold their own against their gun-wielding opponents.
* KillItWithFire: Being a Sanctifier who can manipulate energy with his mind, Thane uses fire as his primary weapon.
* KnowledgeBroker: Casella Raider and Marabella Lawguard both fit this role. Each woman runs a spy network and always seems to know what the other characters are up to.
* LookingBusy: In the beginning of the book, Nahlia's pretends to be scrubbing a table while she's eavesdropping on Thane's conversation with the locals.
* {{Ninja}}: The Sile’zhar are an elite group of assassins from the east who are clad in black from head to toe, leaving a narrow slit for their eyes.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Nahlia survives several dangerous situations that would have been lethal for most people. Most notably [[spoiler: taking a bullet in the chest, then falling into a river from dozens of feet up.]] {{Justified}} due to [[spoiler: her healing abilities]]
* NotoriousParent: Nahlia finds out that her father deserted the Templar Order (the very faction that's currently hunting her.)
* PreMeeting: Nahlia sees Thane at the beginning of the book, although she's unaware of his identity. She doesn't learn his name until later when he finds her in the Ethereal.
* SequelHook: The first book has several of these.
** Nahlia [[spoiler: finds out that her mother is still alive]]
** Thane [[spoiler: swears an oath to take Nahlia to Dragonshard to see her mother.]]
** Ciena [[spoiler: witnesses her twin brother die, then gets captured by the Templars.]]
** Cole [[spoiler: is tasked with uniting the Aeons and humans against the invaders.]]
* StreetSmart: Kira. Growing up as a slave on the island city of Kalamir, she's used to dangerous urban environments. In one chapter, she's able to climb out her window and follow Thane at night without being seen. She's later noticed by Joron, another StreetSmart character.
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Nahlia fits this role for a good portion of the series. All of her abilities revolve around [[WhiteMagic healing and protection]] in some way. Even when she's learning combat in Whitecliff Academy, she takes a more pacifist approach and prefers not to to hurt anyone.
* WizardingSchool: Subverted: The Aeons have a secret academy, but the use of their magic is outlawed here, and all mention of it is removed from the library.
* XanatosGambit: A foreign ruler orchestrated a war between Reverie’s two strongest races: the humans, and the Aeons who ruled over them. If the Aeons won the war, they would be without their armies. If the humans won the war, they would be without their leaders. Either way, the continent was weakened.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In Book 2, when they go to rescue [[spoiler: Ciena from the Templars]] they get there too late and discover that someone else found her first.
