Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A trilogy of fantasy novels by primary school teacher Sarah Ash, consisting of Lord of Snow and Shadows, Prisoner of the Iron Tower, and Children of the Serpent Gate.Gavril Nagarian is a simple painter living in the idyllic nation of Smarna, on the continent of Rossiya. His life gets turned upside-down one day when a band of warriors from the Grim Up North of Azkhendir approach him stating that he is the son of their recently-deceased king, and he must take his father's place. What follows is an elaborate character-driven fantasy saga featuring...well, all the elements mentioned in the page quote.Mrs. Ash has also written a dual book prequel series, The Alchymist's Legacy, dealing with the youth of Estael, the original trilogy's left-hand-man to the bad guy. It also focuses on the earlier lives of Ruaud de Lanvaux, Celestine de Joyeuse, and Jagu de Rustéphan and how they all came to associate with one another in The Tears of Artamon. Tracing the Shadow is the first book, taking place for the most part before the events of the original trilogy; Flight Into Darkness, the second and last book, entails the "behind the scenes" events taking place concurrently with it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Break the Cutie: Both Gavril and Kiukiu (hell, just say Kiukiu's name out loud and tell me she isn't supposed to be lovable!) get the treatment.

All Love Is Unrequited: In the first book and for a while into the second one, anyway.

Deconstruction
 Artamon's Tears / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstruction: So, it turns out that while The Empire does bad things it is ultimately a force for good, that The Emperor has legitimate reasons for wanting to take over the world, that he genuinely loves the woman he has forced to marry him and eventually earns her love in return, that the Legion of Doom is made up of human beings who are generally not sadistic and many of whom just want to ensure peace and get back home, and that no-one is actually evil. Huh. It's a Lighter and Softer Deconstruction! It's like its deconstructing Deconstructions! Okay, the author probably wasn't thinking about that at the time.

CycleOfHatred
 Artamon's Tears / int_aa4b3a0e
comment
Cycle of Hatred: A major theme. One of the problems of Azkhendir society is that when someone is murdered, they produce a wraith, and the easiest way to lay a wraith is to kill its murderer...which then creates another wraith.
