Line 13:
** ''Argument of Kings'' (2002). Covers the War of the Daffodils until Alexander Tagere's ([[Richardof Gloucester]]) [[Reluctant Ruler|crowning]] and ties the duology nicely into the overarching plot by proclaiming him the Last of Kings, whose coming was prophesied in the end of ''Incomparable Right''.
* '''The Year of Three Stars''' duology (tetralogy?):
** ''Tower of Fury'' was intended as a single novel but was split in two because of [[
*** ''Black Poppies'' (2003). Alexander is saved by Gerika (where Richard III died) and brought to Tayana, while Arcia degenerates under Pierre Lumen's (Henry VII) rule. The [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] make their move, foreshadowing the advent of their masters.
*** ''Wind's Harvest'' (2003). Alexander's followers in Arcia (both human and otherwise) organize [[La Résistance]], while he leads the armies of Tayana against Roigian remnants to ensure the former's help in returning his throne. Neo returns to Tarra, Gerika and her like clashes with the Horsemen in [[Just Before the End|anticipation of the prophesied Year of Three Stars]].
Line 104:
* [[The Time of Myths]]: Twice. First, there is the time when Tarra was ruled by Omm and other Old Gods, though only the Orcs remember it in modern times. Then, there were the seven millenia-long rule of the Lightbringers, of which the Elves have the best memories. Modern humans barely remember what the "Great Exodus" was, despite counting years from it.
* [[Time Skip]]: ''Blood of Sunset'' takes place ca. 600 years after ''Incomparable Right''. The second duology is prone to many-year skips, too.
* [[Trilogy Creep]]: And [[Kudzu Plot]]. And [[
* [[True Companions]]: The "Wolf Cubs", Alexander's personal merry gang comprised of youngest children of aristocratic families loyal to Tagere, which eventually evolves into the most feared regiment of Arcia {{spoiler|and is [[Everybodys Dead Dave|slaughtered almost completely]] in the beginning of the fifth book}}.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: When ?nke {{spoiler|kills Asten}}, Gerika taps into [[The Dark Side]] for the first time. Let's just say that all that's left of both ?nke and her escort afterwards can be put into a small box. A very small box.
