Line 8:
# ''The Immortal Realm''
# ''The Enchanted Quest''
# ''The Charmed Return''
The series also contains a manga adaptation, and the same author also writes other series, including the ''Warrior Princess'' series.
Line 30:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Cordelia and Bryn.
* [[Green Eyes]]: Tania and Titania
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Tania is "the very image and reflection" of Titania, which is odd considering how many human incarnations she's lived through.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Zara.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Tania is half human and half Faerie, which is both her greatest asset and a source of endless internal conflict as she struggles to decide where she belongs.
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Subverted. Although many people in Faerie are excellent fencers, this Troper can't recall one instance where their skills are actually implausible.
* [[Love Martyr]]: Rathina, so very much.
* [[Lucky Seven]]
* [[Magical Girl]]: Again, all the princesses. And Titania.
Line 40:
* [[Magic Music]]: Zara's gift.
* [[The Medic]]: Hopie.
* [[Mindlink Mates]]: Part of a Faerie marriage ceremony is to hold hands and pour a magic potion over them, which gives the couple a temporary ability to read each other's minds. It makes sense - since faeries are immortal, they'd better make darn sure that getting married is the right decision.
* [[Mordor]]: Ynis Maw and Ynis Borealis.
* [[Muggle Foster Parents]]: The Palmers. They have trouble adjusting to Anita/Tania's identity, especially Mr. Palmer, but are very kind and supportive throughout.
Line 114:
== Book Four ==
* [[The Atoner]]: {{spoiler|Rathina.}}
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: For one troper, it was the part where Tania, Rathina and Edric fight off those thugs.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Connor.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Lord Aldritch and Hollin call Tania a "half-thing" and accuse her of bringing evil to Faerie just for being who she is.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Poor Connor. Also Clive Palmer; they're both scientific, logical types, who don't deal well with the Faerie Realm at all.
* [[Fourth Date Marriage]]: {{spoiler|Cordelia and Bryn.}} Tania, due to her 21st-century upbringing, strongly disapproves of this. Especially when {{spoiler|Edric}} suggests following their example. {{spoiler|She turns him down hard, triggering one of their "off again" periods that lasts far into the next book.}}
* [[
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Hollin, who dresses in bright yellow and claims to be a famous healer, but is really just an [[Ax Crazy]] charlatan out for Tania's blood.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: {{spoiler|Cordelia and Bryn's wedding becomes the site of a gruesome epidemic. Worse yet, Cordelia herself becomes ill during what is implied to be [[Their First Time]].}}
Line 132:
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: {{spoiler|Connor}} makes a deal with Lord Balor, who is searching for the secret to immortality: in return for handing over {{spoiler|Tania and Rathina}} to Balor to experiment on, Balor will let him take the secret back to {{spoiler|England}} and become rich and famous. {{spoiler|It ends badly for both of them: Balor dies, Connor is mind-wiped.}}
* [[Kid with the Leash]]: Lord Balor and his chained Salamander. {{spoiler|Once the Salamander is freed, it takes gleeful revenge and is glad to help Tania in return.}}
* [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler|Edric to Tania, taking on eerie shades of Gabriel Drake. Somewhat understandable, since he was Gabriel's adopted brother and sidekick for more than five hundred years. Some of his influence is bound to stick. But really, hypnotizing your ex-girlfriend into dancing with you when she clearly doesn't want to? Not nice.}}
** When {{spoiler|Ashling}} does the same thing to him later on, you can't help feeling as though it's [[Laser-Guided Karma]].
* [[Mind Screw]]: The land of Erin. There's one region of endless night, another of endless day, one where the voices of dead loved ones call to travelers from the trees ... you would not want to live there. Connor perceives the entire Faerie Realm as this.
