Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Blood War Trilogy is a Epic Fantasy series of books by Tim Marquitz.For hundreds of years, the bestial Grol have clawed at the walls of Lathah without success. Now armed with O'hra, mystical weapons of great power, they have returned, to conquer. They're not the only ones.Witness to the Grol advance, Arrin can abide his exile no longer. He returns to Lathah, in defiance of death, with hopes to save his beloved princess and the child born of their illicit affair. He finds her unwilling to abandon her people. At her behest, Arrin searches for a sanctuary for them only to be confronted by the Sha'ree, a powerful race long thought gone from the world. Through them, he learns it is not just the Grol that threaten the land.Empowered by a magic never before seen, the savage nations spread chaos and ruin across the realm. With Lathah under siege, and the world on the brink of cataclysmic war, Arrin must strike a deal with the Sha'ree to take the fight to the Grol, or forever lose his one true love: his family.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with Planescape and its Blood War.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Sha'Ree were dying of a horrific plague which caused them horrible deformities and death. It turned out to be from magic overuse with impure metals. In effect, they were suffering radiation sickness.

Shut Up, Hannibal!: Braelyn has no particular fear, interest, or care about Olenn, which means he's now a man faced with a superiorly armed army who wants to see him dead for killing their former leader. Camron has one of these to Olenn as well. Olenn's headgames fail utterly when he points out that, while terrible he's killed Arrin, Camron barely knew the man.

Always Chaotic Evil: The Grol are a race of intelligent carnivorous predators, which is enough to make them look at humans as something delicious as opposed to potential trading partners. Subverted not a few chapters later by the Tolen, who are the Grol's progenitor race and are as civilized as anyone (and consider their Grol brethren worthy only of destruction).

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The reason Sultae has begun her genocidal plans? Because she and a bunch of other Sha'Ree were exiled to die in the wilderness because of plague which, it turns out, they didn't even really have. She became a religious fundamentalist with a hatred for all non-Ree life during her time in the wilds.

Guilt-Free Extermination War: Played with. Arrin and the Lathah don't feel any guilt for planning on destroying the Grol. The reader, however, is left to determine if they're actions are justified given the Tolen are right next to them and show the Grol can be something more.
