!!Tropes for the series:
* AffectionateNickname:
** Darius = Dare
** Elzanna = El
** Haiden = Hay
** Kulani = K
** Logan = Lo
** Madeo = Mads
** River = Riv
* BreakoutCharacter: Out of the three "cubs" adopted into the pride, only Haiden has significant screentime after the second book, in which they join the pride.
* CatsAreMean: Averted for the main Ono-Nai shifter pride, but other shifter prides can be a real mixed bag.
* CheerfulChild: The youngest "cubs," Elzanna and Teo, both spend most of their (limited) screentime as this.
* ChildSoldiers: Magi are trained to use their magic to fight from very young ages, and the strongest magi are forced to fight against taragorians as young as 14-15 years old.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Magi have red tags in their ears, while shifters have green tags to mark themselves as non-human.
* CrapsackWorld: Primarily for non-humans, but no species is safe from the threat from taragorians.
* CuteMute: As a result of being deaf, Elzanna, the middle "cub" and only female of the bunch, only communicates through sign language.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Madeo spends most of the first book feeling anti-shifter, but eventually learns to let all the members of the Ono-Nai pride into his heart.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Cosmo seems to think of his first name "Merrill" as this, given he exclusively goes by his middle name, "Cosmo".
* FantasticRacism: Mostly from humans towards all other non-humans, but magi rarely trust shifters, and many shifters look down on magi, and even shifters outside their own species.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: As much as Madeo tries to deny it, he loves all cats, dogs, and magi, along with most shifters he comes across.
* HappilyAdopted: Logan and the three "cubs" are all adopted into the Ono-Nai pride. Cosmo, Charlie, and Luce were all adopted into the original Ono-Na pride as children.
* NiceGirl and NiceGuy: Basically every member of the Ono-Nai pride.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Charlie only ever goes by "Charlie", while his pridemate Luce is only ever called Luce.
* TheQuietOne: River and Kulani, outside of their pride.
* TokenHuman: Harriet is the only sympathetic human character, and she is essentially adopted into the Ono-Nai shifter clan by the end of book 3.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Charlie seems to have no trouble identifying as male, but also frequently wears women's clothing when out of his work uniform.
