History Literature / BeastQuest

* WhatanIdiot!: In Series 23, King Hugo's long lost brother, Prince Angelo, returns to the Kingdom with very suspicious company in tow. He immediately (as in, on the same day of his return) demands the crown.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' King Hugo, or anyone else in the room - Tom, Elenna, Captain Harkman - with a brain to advise Angelo to rest from his wounds and 'thirty years of war' and get to know the Kingdom he wants to rule; then send a party up to the Borderlands to check if Angelo's story is truthful.\\
'''Instead:''' Hugo immediately hands over the crown and all authority to 'Angelo'.\\
'''As a result:''' 'Angelo' turns Avantia into a brutal dictatorship and almost has Tom executed, forcing him and Elenna to go clean up Hugo's mistake... AGAIN!

Written by Adam Blade ([[HousePseudonym a representation]] of [[{{Ghostwriter}} multiple authors]]), ''Beast Quest'' is the story of two 10 year olds, Tom and Elenna, as well as Storm and Silver (his horse and her wolf, respectively) fighting several Beasts, for whatever reason (usually to uncover artifacts the the BigBad has hidden, or because said Beasts are BrainwashedAndCrazy). The adventures usually take place in the fictional Avantia, but do go elsewhere at times.

* InfantImmortality: Played straight [[spoiler: until series 7, when Malvel kills Marc]].

* HeroesPreferSwords

* EverythingsBetterWithIndexes: It would be easier to use this as opposed to a separate trope for every single creature that shows up in the books.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Tom's trademark is a shield adorned with "tokens" from the six beasts of Avantia, giving him six different blessings/ abilities]].

* [[spoiler: ParentalAbandonment]]: [[spoiler:What really happened to Tom, as opposed to what he believes happened]].

* Badass: YMMV, but given that Tom IS only a 10 year old.

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Petra to Malvel at the end of "Warlock's Staff"]].

* TheArcher

* Badass: YMMV, but given that Tom IS only a 10 year old (of course, he is also kind of a MarySue).

* HarsherInHindsight: Tom and Elenna are both orphans raised by their aunts & uncles, and even then, Elenna states that hers wouldn't care if she left. Guess who [[spoiler:gets their parents back]].

* MoralEventHorizon: Malvel arguably crosses this by [[spoiler: turning Silver into The Wild Terror]].

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Petra to Malvel at the end of "Warlock's Staff"]].
* VillainDecay: Until Tom showed up, Malvel was a force that probably gave King Hugo nightmares. Then he lost to a 10 year old kid. Repeatedly.
** Malvel makes a comeback during Series 10. Among other things [[spoiler: he kills Tom's parents. [[DeathIsCheap For real this time]]]].
