Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The High Priest accuses Prince Donal of "robbery, arson and murder" when it turns out that the only true crime is "arson." Subverted in that Donal only set the Priest's house to kill him, and Donal only has to pay a fine for the damages.

Adults Are Useless: This is a common Diana Wynne Jones trope, and taken Up to Eleven when Aileen at the end realizes that King Keurig and Queen Mevinne are willing to sacrifice their children for power.

Aerith and Bob: Zig-Zagged by using actual European names. The main character's named Aileen, her aunt is Beck, and their companions on the trip are . . .Prince Ivar and his servant Ogo. Ogo's name is actually Hugo, which subverts the trope.
