Line 6: The series follows the Council members as they fight the New Destiny faction, and the [[Muggles]] who just try to survive the Fallen world, using methods vaguely remembered from historical reenactments. The series thus far{{when}} includes: * ''There Will Be Dragons'' (2003) Line 16: '''Spoilers below for those who haven't read the first book''' ~~----~~ {{franchisetropes}} ~~These books provide examples of:~~ * [[After the End]] - The Fall. * [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]] - The AI Wars, and the subsequent law that no new ones may be produced. * [[All of the Other Reindeer]] - Herzer got this before his disease was cured. * [[All Trolls Are Different]] - Changed elves. * [[~~Always Chaotic~~Exclusively Evil]] - Although most of New Destiny's forces were Changed against their will and are innocent victims, Celine designed them this way and so they get no mercy from the Good Guys because there's no way to Change them back unless the war is won. * [[Asexuality]] - Rachel. * [[Anyone Can Die]] - And does. None of the primary protagonists (yet), but some have had some very close calls. Some have the hope of being brought back, once the Net is back up, although there's no guarantee of that. Most everyone else is [[Deader Than Dead]], though. Line 36: * [[Drop the Hammer]] - The preferred weapon of Edmund, aka {{spoiler\|Charles the Hammer, former ruler of Anarchia}}. Given that he started as a blacksmith, this probably isn't surprising. * [[Fantasy Gun Control]] - Played straight; Mother siphons off the energy of any explosion or other release of energy beyond a certain level, rendering guns useless. * [[Finders, Rulers]] - Membership in the council is simply a matter of holding a Key. At least two people have made it to the council by stealing a Key. * [[Fur Bikini]] - [[Justified Trope]], as it can be a way to distract men, while they are in freezing temperatures that don't have any effect on Bast. * [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]] - Averted. Change is a common method of trying out something new, and common.
