* SwitchingPOV: Kami, Jared, Ash, and Holly all get to narrate the story at different times. This is in stark contrast to ''The Demon's Lexicon'', where each book was kept anchored to a single point of view (and occasionally had to strain to get all the plot beats across, which is likely why Brennan abandoned the technique here).

*ArrangedMarriage: Lillian and Rosalind’s parents brought Rob to live with them with the intention of marrying him to one of their daughters to breed more sorcerers. [[spoiler:Or so Rob claims. It’s more likely that they took pity on Rob and wanted to atone for killing his parents.]]

*ForDoomTheBellTolls: Long ago Elinor Lynburn sunk the great gilded bells of Aurimere in the river to keep any passing armies from stripping it of its gold. Legend has it that when Sorry-in-the-Vale is in danger, the bells beneath the river will ring in warning.
*FriendlessBackground: Jared has never actually had anyone besides Kami, which explains why he’s the more dependent one.
*FromBadToWorse: So not only have Kami and friends not been able to discover the identities of all of Rob’s sorcerers, but they’re terribly outnumbered, Lillian refuses to work together with them, and the rest of the town is willing to sit on their hands and let the sorcerers work their own problems out. Then in the space of a few chapters [[spoiler:Lillian abducts Kami’s brother, sacrifices her entire meagre army in a dangerous ritual to get more power, and gets herself and Kami’s brother captured by Rob. Jared manages to get them out…….only to be taken prisoner himself and is now presumed dead]].

* BlessedWithSuck: The imaginary friend you grew up knowing your whole life is real. You've never had to suffer loneliness or insecurity, because they were present in your mind to ease that all away; you've always had a source of comfort. But you're also never alone, they can know your every casually cruel thought, it's difficult to distinguish between your feelings and theirs, your negative feelings feed off each other to grow stronger and stronger, and you're so emotionally entwined that it's unhealthy. That's how Kami and Jared are.
