* LegendFadesToMyth: The history of the world and the Six Princes have been reduced to legends in the present day, which, to make it all the more confusing, each country has a different take on. In ''Shadow Magic'', Thorn and K'leef disagree whether the Princes' mother was a wood nymph or a fiery djinn.

Added DiffLines:
* MeaningfulName: Everybody has one, but Lily stands out because her name has double significance. Her full name, Lilith, invokes the she-devil from Literature/TheBible, but her nickname invokes the flower, which fits the Theme Naming of Thorn's homeland. [[spoiler:The latter meaningful foreshadows her desire to be a permanent part of Thorn's world.]]

* TheMagicGoesAway: A gradual but slow process, magic has been waning in every generation since the Six Princes, to the extent that one House was usurped and had their magic replaced with technology and science. The only area remaining rich in magic is the Shardlands, [[AfterTheEnd a chaos-filled wasteland still reeling from the devastating magic wrought by the Six Princes]].
* PollutedWasteland: The Shardlands are a magical equivalent. Once the capital of the Six Princes' ancient kingdom, it was infested with wild magic as the epicentre of the six-way war for dominance. There are endless storms, giant monsters, and the nomadic tribes who live there are prone to being born with mutations like third eyes and exoskeletons.

* AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler:Princess Ameera]] in ''Burning Magic''. It's commendable she wants to fight the ancient and sexist laws that stop women from using magic, but with a lust for the power she's been denied, she's too quick to resort to murder. Not to mention eager to enact ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem
Added DiffLines:
* AxCrazy: K'leef's brother, Jambiya. He ''likes'' the smell of burning flesh, and roasting criminals and heretics at the stake is his favorite pastime.
