A series of Heroic Fantasy novels by Lynn Flewelling that follows the adventures of two Loveable Rogues and their friends and allies.A 16-year-old orphan named Alec is imprisoned and tortured for a crime he didn't commit. But just as he's starting to welcome the idea of his inevitable death, he is made to share his cell with the real criminal — a man named Seregil, who breaks them both out of their prison. Seregil, a spy/thief for hire, recognizes the innate thieving skills Alec possesses, and offers to take him on as his apprentice. Alec accepts, and is immediately drawn into deadly intrigues, an impending war, and a secret society of spies and wizards.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Seven books and a short stories anthology have been published so far. The second book is a sequel to the first, and the remaining are standalone. The seventh is supposedly the final book in the series.

A Child Shall Lead Them: Queen Gherilain the First was crowned at sixteen, and so was her descendant Queen Tamír the Great. In the series proper, Princess Elani takes the throne at sixteen as well, after her aunt Phoria is killed in battle. | |

Above Good and Evil | |
| Nightrunner / int_86968c96 | comment |
Above Good and Evil: The Four Gods, who patronise both good and bad things (e.g. Illior/Aura gives light and knowledge but is a patron of thieves and madness; Sakor guards the hearth and brings the sun but favours Blood Knights etc). Also how rulership in Skala is decided: the Immortals only cares that the ruler is a Queen from King Thelátimos' bloodline, not whether she's a good or bad leader. Even if a man usurps the throne for (ostensibly) good reasons, Bad Things will happen. | |

A Lighter Shade of Gray: Both Skala and Plenimar have no qualms to use war to further their interests, can be/are ruled by overly ambitious or incompetent rulers, use gruesome punishments, and are plagued with intrigues. However, the Skalans are presented as being more chivalrous and humane towards war prisoners and civilians, whereas slavery is well and alive in Plenimar and the Plenimaran soldiers are universally cruel. | |
