The first published novel by Fredric R. Stewart, Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Cerberon is unusual blend of Regency Romance and High Fantasy. The novel opens in Regency England several years after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars, with George making a final, desperate, and futile attempt to convince a wealthy widow to marry him, with Cerberon's begrudging assistance. After being kicked off of the widow's estate, George and Cerberon soon encounter another widow, Margaret, who is significantly less wealthy than the ones George had been unsuccessfully courting. George promises to escort her and her children to their destination, which they then discover is America. They decide to follow through on this promise by taking them through an alternate fantastic world full of magic, strange creatures, and danger. George enters into a romantic relationship with Margaret while Cerberon learns more about what it means to be a unicorn than he ever suspected.On their journey, they receive help from a villainous elven wizard that they're afraid to refuse, since they already know about The Fair Folk. Other strange creatures join the traveling group, forming a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits each going along for their own reason. They discover the country they are traveling through is marked for annihilation by the Dragon Queen, the supreme ruler of all the world's dragons. An epic battle ensues, while George and Cerberon seek to escape it, their only duty being the safety of their charges. They eventually make it to America, bringing with them guests from the fantastic world, including a dragon and a centaur, but antebellum America is not what they had expected.While the story arc of Cerberon is complete in this novel, it is clear at the end a new arc is beginning, and work on a second novel, Cerberon's Herd has been announced by the author.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Affably Evil | |
| Cerberon / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: This seems to be the standard mode of conduct for Obviously Evil characters in the book. Aladavan is clearly evil, but he's genuinely friendly, well-mannered, and a generous host. Oethelzeiren also acts this way, but he's probably neither truly affable nor truly evil, just polite and the most powerful asshole in the world. All the dragons are extremely polite, and it's very clear that polite isn't necessarily nice. | |

Alien Non-Interference Clause | |
| Cerberon / int_867f9f5c | comment |
Alien Non-Interference Clause: The dragons espouse a version by which they avoid interfering in the lives of humans and other younger races. It doesn't stop them from interacting with them or severely punishing them when they become dangerously unruly. | |

| Cerberon / int_9af96ec2 | comment |
Acrophobic Bird: The skraad in the story actively avoid flying in daytime, unless they're invisible, because if someone spots them there's a very good chance they'll be killed. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade | |
| Cerberon / int_e0c00a95 | comment |
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Alicorn blades are shown to be absurdly sharp. Bryn Kravat easily slices Aladavan's steel sword in half with King Norrith's alicorn scimitar. A skilled magic user can take this even further by making the alicorn blade extend a magical energy blade as functional as a light saber. Aladavan uses one like this to decapitate a horse and bisect its rider in a single stroke. | |
