Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Mistmantle Chronicles is a series in the same vein of animal fantasy as Redwall, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, and the like. It focuses around Urchin, an oddly colored squirrel who is washed up on the beach of the titular Island inhabited by moles, otters, squirrels and hedgehogs on a night of falling ("Riding" in the book's universe) stars. Most of the books take place on the generally isolated island, since "those who truely belong on Mistmantle cannot leave by water and return by water" (except for Voyagers), and deal with a lot of internal strife, especially inside Mistmantle Tower. Keeps most of the animals acting like they should, meaning while hedgehogs may eat cakes and drink wine, they also enjoy bugs. Written by M. I. McAllister. | |

More than Mind Control | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_28e90e30 | comment |
More Than Mind Control: While Husk and, later, Smokewreath do commune with supernatural forces of evil, it is made abundantly clear that evil only managed to take hold on their souls because they were bad, bad people even before that. | |

Deathbed Confession | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_52e52099 | comment |
Deathbed Confession: In Heir of Mistmantle, Damson ends up telling Juniper, who she believes to be Brother Fir, that his father was Captain Husk and that he both murdered his mother and attempted to drown him when he was a baby. This puts Juniper into a state of shock and self-doubt for a good part of the novel. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Silverbirch's island hates squirrels that are colored like Urchin, mainly because of a prophecy that one would bring down a ruler. In Urchin and the Heartstone, this is the main reason why Gorsen and the Hedgehog Host was planning to overthrow King Crispin. He later says that only hedgehogs could be proper kings of Mistmantle because they were creatures of the earth, and that no one could respect a twitchy-tailed tree-climbing squirrel for a king. | |

Karmic Death | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Lady Aspen poisons the queen (claiming it to be "medicine) so that she and Husk can conquer the kingdom. After she falls out of a window, Gleaner gives her that "medicine", killing her. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Tay the Historian. While not fully aware of Husk's schemes, she still helps him to plot against the king out of personal ambition, and almost gets an entire nursery full of infants murdered and gets away with a little jail time. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: At the first glance, Lord Treeth seems like an inept buffoon. However, he is actually crafty enough to foil the rescue mission to Whitewings, and to mastermind the plot that almost brought down King Crispin, by subverting the very chief of guards, assigned to guard his prison. | |

A Nazi by Any Other Name | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_c2288824 | comment |
A Nazi by Any Other Name: Husk seemed intent on turning Mistmantle into a facist dictatorship with himself at the helm. He couldn't stand any deformed animals (he killed his own brother, wife, and attempted to kill his own illegitimate son, Juniper) and had any that were reported deformed killed, even when their deformities couldn't be a drain in any way and eventually animals that aren't deformed at all. | |

Plagued by Nightmares | |
| The Mistmantle Chronicles / int_e853bdb8 | comment |
Plagued by Nightmares: In the first book, Husk gets nightmares after killing Prince Tumble, of the dead hedgehog sniffing him out. Could be seen as prophetic when a short sighted baby hedgehog does the same thing innocently at the end. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Crispin has quite the long fuse, being able to take murder accusations and serious critisims of his wife and kingship. Once you cross that line, however, Heart save you. | |
