The Balanced Sword is a fantasy trilogy by Ryk E. Spoor, consisting of the novels Phoenix Rising (2012), Phoenix in Shadow (2015), and Phoenix Ascendant (2016).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It is set in Zarathan, a world of heroes and wizards and demons, adventures and quests and magic. It is mentioned that Zarathan was once mystically connected to another world, though the connection was sealed off long ago. The lost sister-world was called Zahralandar, or by some people "Earth". (It is thus a companion series to the Jason Wood stories, which are set on Earth and have backstory dating back to when it was connected to Zarathan.)The trilogy concerns three heroes in particular. Kyri Vantage, daughter of a family who have long protected the border of Southern Zarathan, seeks justice for her parents, slain by assailants whose identities and motives remain unknown. Tobimar Silverun, prince of Skysand, seeks the truth of his people's origins, a search which many a Silverun has set out on and from which none has ever returned. Poplock Duckweed, an undersized and often underestimated adventurer from a race whose members rarely stir far from their own doors, seeks knowledge, of the world in general and also specifically of a group of demon-worshippers whose activities prompted the beginning of his career.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As the story progresses, they find that their individual quests are connected to each other and to a massive plot being set in motion by the demon king Kerlamion Blackstar.

Aliens Speaking English: Lampshaded and made a plot point in Phoenix in Shadow, when the protagonists discover a lost realm that's been cut off from the rest of Zarathan for thousands of years, inhabited by people who speak the same language as the protagonists.

And I Must Scream: It's mentioned in passing that one of the demon king Kerlamion's underlings is a demon who did a Heel–Face Turn and was punished by being placed under a curse that forced him to watch helplessly from inside his own head as his body went back to his old evil ways and destroyed everything he had tried to save.

Action Girl: Kyri Vantage. Carries a greatsword that she uses to great effect, climbs mountains, and Guild Adventurer set on a vehement vector of vengeance (and justice).
