comment
A Trial of Blood and Steel is a fantasy quadrilogy by Joel Shepherd, consisting of Sasha, Petrodor, Tracato and Haven. The series starts in the small village of Baerlyn highland nation of Lenayin with former princess Sashandra Lenayin training in swordwork under Kessligh Cronenverdt. Her sparring against the other villagers is interrupted by the arrival of her brother Prince Damon with a company of soldiers. A lord of a neighbouring province has been slain by another lord and the King has dispatched Damon to clear up the conflict before it spirals out of control. Things are, of course, more than they seem and from there the series spirals into a web of politics, religion and war that takes the cast across the continent.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Although the series is best classed as fantasy there is only one definitely supernatural element, with all others being at most Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, and one non-human race, the very elf-like serrin.

Arc Words: Variations on "Would you be the first in a thousand years?" referencing the length of time since one serrin has murdered another.

Badass Army: The Steels of the Saalshen Bacosh. Think Roman Legions with heavier armour and nightmarish siege weapons. In one of their first appearances they deal out a Curbstomp Battle to an army three times their size that picked the terrain and had time to set up. The Army of Lenayin is the closest to an equal they have.

Aristocrats Are Evil: Disproportionately so but not entirely. They're mostly out of touch rather than malevolent. The Civid Sein believe it anyway.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Serrin steel swords are much more lethal than ordinary weapons, and additionally much more durable.
