Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Seventeen-year-old Rosa Alcantara, daughter of an influential but dead Mafia capo, flees her shattered home life with her mother and dark past in Brooklyn by flying to her father's family in Italy. Sicily, it seems, is the perfect place for a new start: She lives in a big mansion with no one but her sister Zoe and her aunt Florinda, the half-empty Sicilian landscape is eerily beautiful, the laws are hardly ever enforced.On her flight, she meets Alessandro Carnevare, a handsome stranger about her age, with whom she reunites at his father's funeral - who was a capo, too. The Carnevares and the Alcantaras have been enemies for decades, though, and no one approves of the contact. Rosa starts spending time with Alessandro, at first because she enjoys the risks that come with it, later because they form a bond of shared secrets - the most major of which is that both families are shapeshifters descended from Lykaon, the late king of Arcadia: While the Alcantaras, at least their women, transform into giant snakes, the Carnevares shift into big cats.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })But instead of their fire-forged friendship forming into a tender romance in the peace of reunion, Rosa and Alessandro have the world against them. Not only do their families more and more disapprove of their relationship, but Alessandro has to keep his clan from killing him, Rosa has to fight personal demons and find her place in life, a mysterios organisation kidnaps and tortures Arcadians, a secret that could change everyones lives lies at the bottom of the sea, and everyone lives in fear of the mysterious "Hungry Man", who is rumored to be Lykaon himself...The YA series Arcadia by German author Kai Meyer consists of three books: Arcadia Awakens Arcadia Burns Arcadia FallsHas nothing to do with the play Arcadia, the book Old Arcadia or even the trope Arcadia. | |

| Arcadia / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Adders and vipers are treated like two different things when they aren't. In fact, they are often exactly the same animalnote For example, Vipera berus is interchangeably referred to, even by biologists, as both the Common European Viper and the Common European Adder. | |

Our Werebeasts Are Different | |
| Arcadia / int_2f41cac1 | comment |
Our Werebeasts Are Different: In the Alcantara family, only the women shift. The transformations are driven by strong emotions and happen gradually. The shifters are aware and sentient, but are controlled by more animal-like instincts. The individual groups of shapeshifters have names regarding the animals they change into. The Alcantara shifters are called lamia, while the Carnevare ones are called panthera. The descriptions of the gradual shifting are quite unique. | |

Rape as Backstory and Rape as Drama: Rosa. There are many subtle hints until the truth comes out, and even her describing it is as much of a Rape Discretion Shot as a firsthand experience can be due to a date rape drug, but the execution with all its logical consequences like panic attacks at parties, being uncomfortable with too strong closeness and phantom pain in the abdomen is done realistically and tastefully.

Meaningful Name | |
| Arcadia / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Nathaniel" means "gift of God". Slightly overlapping with Animal Theme Naming: Come on, what does Carnevare sound like? Fundling was, indeed, a foundling child. The name of Fundling's dog, Sarcasmo, says more about him than the dog. | |

Mattia Carnevare works with Rosa because he wants to find Valerie again. Double Reverse Quadruple Agent: Fundling watched Cesare kill Gaia, so he started reporting to Judge Quattrini while still acting faithful to the Carnevares. At the same time, he is Pantaleone's spy. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Arcadia / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Teenage lovers who are members of rivaling Italian clans? Don't tell me you didn't think of Romeo and Juliet. Rosa quotes to Salvatore Pantaleone: "I'm not looking for a friend, I'm looking for a Jedi master.", from Star Wars, and claims it to be a quote from Hamlet. Perhaps inevitably, there are also some to The Godfather. Alessandro being unkempt, black-haired and green-eyed might be one to Harry Potter. This is not helped by the fact that, in German fanfic, it is weirdly popular to call Harry Alexander or any variation thereof, and that Rosa jokingly calls the posh boarding school Alessandro attended in the USA "Hogwarts". Alessandro gives Rosa a handwritten book with Aesop's fables as a gift. In the beginning, there is a quote from Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, in which a tiger licks away the first person narrator's skin to reveal fur. Later in the book, Rosa has a dream about Alessandro, in his panther form, licking away her skin to reveal a snake's scales. Rosa calls her snake form Godzilla once. | |

She is really just exhausted from being a single mom in Crown Heights, stumbling from job to job, having Sicily and the Mafia romanticised by her two daughters, and having been left by her husband seemingly without a good reason. Like many people in the series, she and Rosa aren't so different. | |

Double Reverse Quadruple Agent | |
| Arcadia / int_f4379d92 | comment |
Double Reverse Quadruple Agent: Fundling watched Cesare kill Gaia, so he started reporting to Judge Quattrini while still acting faithful to the Carnevares. At the same time, he is Pantaleone's spy. | |

Unkempt Beauty | |
| Arcadia / int_f4b744f5 | comment |
Unkempt Beauty: Rosa's "witch hair" is ever tangled, she doesn't wear makeup, she's pale and scrawny and her shins are full of scars due to shaving accidents, yet Alessandro evidently finds her very attractive. | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
| Arcadia / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil/Dumb/Crazy: Valerie's insane actions towards Rosa are a direct result of her infatuation with Michele. Evangelos Thanassis, with a heavy emphasis on the "dumb" part. See Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense below. | |
