The Madness Season is a Science Fantasy novel by Celia S Friedman which blends Science Fiction with monster mythology.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Centuries ago, Earth was invaded and subjugated by an alien race known as the Tyr. In order to cement their rule over humankind, the Tyr institute a law that any agitators or exceptional individuals it identifies will be exiled from Earth permanently. And the Tyr's plan is progressing well - human ingenuity and independence is fading into the mists of a fragmented history. But there was one native of Earth who never forgot that old world.Daetrin Haal (though he chooses not to admit it to himself) is an ancient vampire. For centuries before the Subjugation, Daetrin hid amongst humankind undetected. For the centuries after, he continued the masquerade, not just from humans, but from the Tyr as well. But, like him, the Tyr have a long memory and they ultimately find him.Deemed by the Tyr to be a threat to their dominion over Earth, Daetrin is banished from Earth, doomed to live the rest of his many days on a distant research world. But he is a survivor. Cut off from what he needs to stay alive while being transported on a Tyr starship, his instincts take control and allow him to escape by jumping ship during a stop at a Medieval-level human colony world. There, he meets an energy being known as a Marra who also requires the life force of others to survive and is also able to change her shape.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Together, Daetrin and the Marra travel through the Tyr-dominated worlds in an attempt to discover the origins of the Tyr which ultimately prove to be the key to destroying their empire. | |

Believing Their Own Lies | |
| The Madness Season / int_a1ca3743 | comment |
Believing Their Own Lies: The Marra who survive in hiding on the Tyr-controlled worlds often give themselves cover stories. Because their memories only span a few centuries, they eventually start believing their cover stories, to the point that they even believe that they are mortals who can die. Also Daetrin himself at the beginning of the book, who wished so much to be "normal" that for centuries he's convinced himself that he only suffered from a strange blood disorder, and that all memories of "supernatural" powers were just hallucinations. | |

| The Madness Season / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Daetrin's father was once an employee of the Library of Alexandria and personally saw it burn. Daetrin's mother was worshipped by the Helenic societies as a goddess (though we are not privy to which goddess she may have been). | |

The All-Concealing "I": Daetrin's first-person P.O.V. places the focus on his experiences instead of his nature, allowing for a gradual reveal of the fact that he is a vampire. | |
