* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Subverted. Many people have thought the Queen, now as a dragon, is a malevolent, feral beast ready to rip them to shreds, but turns out that she isn't at all, she just wants to find her place in the world now that she is no longer human.

After the Twin Fires are lit and a new age of dragons begins, [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Queen Elizabeth II]] transforms into a silver dragon, not knowing that she was truly one of those creatures in disguise. Strife rakes the entire United Kingdom, with the white dragons of Scotland turning against the English silvers and dragons against mankind, and Her Majesty becomes the key to restoring peace over her now-broken kingdom as she discovers her true nature as a dragon.

* BalefulPolymorph: Many human characters in this story's universe, including the Queen herself, transform into dragons. However, these transformations aren't because of a curse, but [[spoiler: due to the Twin Fires being lit]] to show the dragons' true forms, as these characters were actually dragons for the whole time.

* WasOnceAMan: Well, it's quite complex. Many humans were actually dragons in disguise despite being born as humans, with the Queen, Balloch, Kitaki, and Lord Hodges being some of them. Ergo, even though they turned from human to dragon, s they were actually dragons the whole time, thus when mutated they actually turned into their true forms.

''After spending centuries in hibernation and disguised as humans, the dragons of old reawaken. Oblivious to their true nature, the awakening is a complete shock to both the dragons themselves and the humans surrounding them. One of those unwitting dragons is [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Elizabeth, the Queen of England]]. As chaos and panic seizes the whole United Kingdom in it's grip, Queen Elizabeth struggles to find her place again in the changed world, torn between her own species and her own subjects, she remains the only one able to avert the devastating war between man and dragon which already hangs over the beleaguered island nation.''
