It's also a kind of Dramatic Irony, if none of the characters know it.

^ That's for stuff happening before the Internal Reveal.
So it's like The Reveal, but the reader already knows whatever is going to be revealed, either because it is shown someway on purpose or because the book is from the viewpoint of that character.
