Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Caster Chronicles, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, is a young adult fantasy series that began in 2009 and concluded in 2012.The book introduces Ethan Wate, a teenage boy living in Gaitlin, a small town in the southern United States. Ethan cannot wait to graduate high school and get out of what he believes to be a boring small town where nothing ever happens. Then he meets Lena.Lena Duchannes is a beautiful new girl with a dark secret. She is a member of a family of Casters, short for Spellcasters. Each child born into her family has special powers. Lena's family is unique among the Casters because they are cursed. Every girl in their family, on her sixteenth birthday, is Claimed by either Light or Dark. Lena's cousin and former best friend, Ridley, went Dark recently, and she is terrified that the same thing is going to happen to her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })She and Ethan also face the challenge of the impossibility of the relationship between a Mortal and a Caster. For the Mortal, every touch or kiss is an electric shock, and to "be together physically" would result in his death.

Good Is Not Nice: John Breed after his Heel–Face Turn in Beautiful Chaos. In his short speech when he saves the day at the Far Keep, he even insults his own personality. Occasionally Macon and Amma get so adamant about protecting their respective teenagers, and so snarky about it, that they can fall into this too. | |

It helps guide Liv, Ethan, Link and Ridley during their quest to find the Great Barrier and also gives Ethan strange visions. In the end it's revealed that Macon was inside it all along. | |

Light/Darkness Juxtaposition | |
| The Caster Chronicles / int_2dab6345 | comment |
Light/Darkness Juxtaposition: On their sixteenth birthday, in addition to learning their "true name", Casters are given the choice to turn dark or light. For the Ravenwood Family, however, there's a curse that removes the option for choice. Though not all Dark Casters turn evil, they are Anti Heroes at best and are associated with sociopathy and negativity, while Light Casters are warm, loving, and fundamentally good. Lena, in her efforts to not turn dark, ended up choosing both, gaining one eye of each Caster's color. | |

Trailers Always Lie: There was one shot of Ridley screaming◊ in what looks like anger in the trailer (at 1:52, after Lena snarls "I want you outta here!"). Thing is, what actually happens is that Lena tells her to get out, and then Ridley screams in anger that she's so sick of everyone treating Lena like she's special, to which Lena coldly replies "I said, get away from my boyfriend, you witch." Ridley's face changes to surprise and fear, and then she goes flying. | |

Out with a Bang: What happens to any Mortal who has — or tries to have — sex with a Caster or Incubus. It's doubtful how far anyone would actually get; just a heavy make-out session with Lena nearly kills Ethan in Beautiful Creatures. He would have died, had it not been for Ryan's intervention. | |

Blatant Lies: Sarafine's love for Lena. Though she did in fact love Lena and her father when she was born, it took major effort to do so in spite of her Dark nature, and once Abraham Ravenwood started to influence her it got to be too much. By the time of the books she no longer shows any signs of really loving her. | |

Wham Line: The climax of Beautiful Creatures has a rapid chain of wham lines when Sarafine reveals that Lena can choose whether she'll become a light caster or a dark one, but whichever side she chooses, the half of her family aligned to the other side will die. One in Beautiful Redemption reveals that Mercy and Grace also know about the Casters, and what has been happening lately. They reveal that they let Prudence think she was the only one who knew for all those decades as a joke, when in fact they found out before she did. | |

Almighty Janitor: quite a few: Carlton Eaton, the bumbling local mailman, also delivers all the magical mail around town and knows about the casters. Amma is the Wate family’s housekeeper but also a powerful seer and one of the main magical authorities in Gatlin. The Keepers seem like just representatives of a Celestial Bureaucracy but can put anyone on trial and one [[is the final antagonist of the series]]. Thelma, the sisters nurse, know about the tunnels due to taking Prudence down there and also provides some minor help.* Alpha Bitch: Savannah Snow, with Emily, Eden, and the other cheerleaders as her Girl Posse. They constantly harass new girl Lena for being so unlike the rest of them, to the point of reenacting the last scene in Carrie and staging a near-literal witch trial during Beautiful Creatures. And then again, when their English class covers Series/The Crucible in Beautiful Chaos. | |

Thicker Than Water | |
| The Caster Chronicles / int_76df59f1 | comment |
Thicker Than Water: Often cruelly subverted, as whenever someone turns Dark, even though the family knows it's not really their fault and still want to be there for them, they have to kick that child out, as demonstrated with Sarafine. and Ridley, after the last Duchannes child who was claimed dark (Lena'a great-aunt Althea) killed someone after being allowed to stay in the house. This gets played straighter in Beautiful Redemption though, when the family takes back Ridley. although she had done a lot to earn it by then. | |

Also, the matriarch of the entire Duchannes/Ravenwood family, Genevieve. Though her becoming evil wasn't due to her having a malicious personality, but due to the spell she tried to use to save the love of her life being from the Book of Moons and therefore backfiring horribly. | |

Back from the Dead: Two times, each with a character dying apparently for good in one book and returning at the end of the next: at the end of Beautiful Creatures, Macon is killed by the Book of Moons, then returned to the world of the living via Arclight in Beautiful Darkness; then, in Beautiful Chaos, it's the protagonist Ethan, and Beautiful Redemption revolves around his attempts to undo the events that led to this so he can come back to life. | |

Take a Third Option: Lena becoming both Light and Dark at the end of the second book. A rare instance where there are major consequences attached to the third option that aren't handwaved away or luckily averted: it's described as her "having broken the world", complete with Biblical-style plagues and all the Casters' powers misfiring, and it's eventually revealed that the only solution is Ethan jumping off the water tower. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman | |
| The Caster Chronicles / int_cce399 | comment |
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman / What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: The main character, Ethan Wate, is a Wayward - a mortal whose destiny is essentially intertwined with that of a specific Caster. Waywards are also essentially a guide or compass for their Caster, and instinctively know where they need to go and what they need to do, especially when Casters are about as lost as the next person in the room. Needless to say, this only ever comes in handy when all other options have been exhausted. Comes with plenty of Lampshade Hanging that explicitly references Aquaman and his usually useless powers. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| The Caster Chronicles / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: In Beautiful Creatures, Macon interrupts Lena's trial in the gymnasium and verbally destroys pretty much everyone who dares to try to defend their persecution of Lena. In Beautiful Chaos John Breed, Macon, Leah, Liv, Lena, Link, Ethan and Ridley appear at Marian's trial at the Far Keep and successfully prevent her execution. | |

Evil Old Folks | |
| The Caster Chronicles / int_eb9afb9d | comment |
Evil Old Folks: Abraham Ravenwood, unsurprisingly, as you can’t get much older than a guy who was around in the civil war. His son Silas also applies. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: Leah Ravenwood is first seen at Macon's funeral at the beginning of Beautiful Darkness, but isn't properly introduced or even named until the gang reaches the Great Barrier near the end of the novel. | |

The Lost Lenore | |
| The Caster Chronicles / int_f0c4ce7d | comment |
The Lost Lenore: Ethan’s mom to Macon. Briefly Ethan. to Lena. before he’s resurrected. * Love Dodecahedron: In Beautiful Darkness. Ethan is in love with Lena, who he believes left him for John Breed, and is beginning to be attracted to Olivia. Link is also attracted to Olivia, but at the same time he's still pining for Ridley. Ridley and John are often seen together, so subtext could lead to interpretation of them as a couple. Lila Jane Evers' first love was Macon Ravenwood, but he had to leave her because he was afraid of hurting her, so she met Ethan's father. She's still enough in love with Macon to save him from dying. He never stopped loving her. | |

High-School Dance: The Winter Formal in Beautiful Creatures. Ends up resembling a much tamer version of Stephen King's Carrie, but the mayhem's not actually Lena's doing. | |

Running Gag: Whenever Ethan goes to the library Marian greats him with a literary quote which he always identifies incorrectly, (although he does get close). | |
