The Saga of the Noble Dead | comment |
Series of novels by Barb and JC Hendee. Basically, Vampire Fiction meets High Fantasy meets Dark Fantasy, with some twists along the way. Main protagonist Magiere is a Dhampyr (born of human and vampire) and a supernaturally powerful hunter of the undead, charging exorbitant fees to protect the countryside peasants from all manner of things that should have remained in the grave- or is she?The truth is, Magiere and her half-elf partner Leesil are con-artists, taking advantage of peoples' gullibility to make a living (he plays the vampire and she dramatically "slays" him). After saving up enough money, they decide to retire to a sleepy port town and open an inn- but a chance encounter with a real vampire sets much larger events in motion, and Magiere winds up having to really become the thing she's pretended to be for years. It gradually becomes apparent, however, that there are much more dangerous things out there than the living dead, and some of them have taken an interest in the protagonists' doings...The series is divided into arcs, which tell largely self-contained stories while advancing the overall plot. The series is currently complete at 14 books taking place across three arcs.A number of e-book novellas that are not directly part of the Myth Arc but further flesh out the world have been released, and Barb Hendee is currently releasing The Mist-Torn Witches, a spin-off series set in the same world; this series is much smaller-scale and more episodic in nature, following a pair of sisters who serve as court seers to a prince in Droevinka (Magiere's homeland).A second spin-off by both Hendees, The Dead Seekers, had its first installment released in January 2017. | |

The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: They are long lived and highly advanced, but they're also arrogant, manipulative Well Intentioned Extremists. Not all of them are bad, but the human characters generally have no problem with calling those who are on their transgressions. | |

The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_161fa3b8 | comment |
Hidden Agenda Villain: Welstiel is this for several books, with his scheme only gradually being revealed. The Fae seem to be becoming this as well- they were always mysterious, but the last several books have started moving them into the territory of the downright dangerous. | |

Genre Shift | |
The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The first book resembles Buffy the Vampire Slayer IN MEDIEVAL TRANSYLVANIA! The second has elements of this, but starts introducing the overall High Fantasy plotline. This plotline becomes dominant from there on out. | |

Punctuation Shaker: Most elvish names have at least one apostrophe in them. Considering how hard elvish is to pronounce, though, it's possible that they represent a sound the Latin alphabet has no letter for. | |

The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Several times: In Through Stone and Sea, Wynn is blamed for the death of Freadherich Areskynna by Duchess Reine. It seems as though this grudge will come up later, but it never does. The majority of the third series has Magiere and Leesil being hunted by anmalghk, until their numbers are whittled down to just two. At this stage they head back to Most Aged Father with any resolution to the subplot being dropped unceremoniously. A resolution to the civil war amongst the elves is never given Are you wondering why Osha is given the weapons of the she'ith by the Chein'as? While he does get trained by them, there is never an explanation for why they set him on the path. | |

The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_25b7257f | comment |
Red Right Hand: The fact that Magiere has chalk-white skin no matter how much sun she gets is a pretty solid indicator that she isn't human. The fact that her eyes turn jet black and she grows fangs when angry clinches the deal. She's not actually evil, but as a result of these traits has been treated like she is by the superstitious all her life. | |

Parental Abandonment: Magiere's mother died giving birth to her and her father died in the act of siring her as a key compoment of the ritual that made her conception even possible. Leesil's parents sacrificed their own lives to save their teenaged son from Darmouth's hunters but his mother is actually still alive. | |

Enemy to All Living Things | |
The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_2e7d6711 | comment |
Enemy to All Living Things: All undead in this universe, who have to feed on the living to survive. Precisely how varies - vampires consume a large amount of energy from one person (usually fatally), while others gradually drain the energy from their environment. Magiere is like this too, but only when her dhampir powers fully activate. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Welstiel dislikes feeding, considering it demeaning - he uses magic to absorb energy much more quickly and efficiently for himself (though not for the victim). Chane also has standards, but his are the reverse- he's often bothered by his partner's absolute clinical cruelty, even though hot-blooded murder is something he can actively enjoy. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Near the middle, leaning somewhat towards cynical. There are definitely good people out there, and The Power of Love is a real force, at least for love as strong as Magiere and Leesil's, but the world itself isn't a happy place, and most of the major factions can be... unpleasant if rubbed wrong. | |

It's generally considered the most dangerous kind of magic, though not all sorcerers are capital E evil. | |

Power Incontinence: In one book, Wynn uses a spell to give herself mantic sight- the ability to see residual traces of magical energy. Problem is, this turns out to be rather hard to turn off, and has lingering effects throughout the series. Magiere also sometimes has problems controlling her dhampir side. | |

Jackass Genie: Il'samar seems to have these tendencies; Sau'ilahk, one of its most loyal servants, was a vain man who was jealous of the vampires because they could keep their youth and beauty eternally, and he requested that it make him immortal as well. It did so by turning him into a wraith- a creature that is literally The Faceless. | |

Retired Monster: In the second arc, Chane is still evil, but has dialed it down to more "ordinary" vampire levels- this has next to nothing to do with guilt or remorse, and a lot more to do with the fact that he's the Token Evil Teammate now, and if he goes too overboard, Wynn (the only mortal he respects) won't tolerate his presence any longer. As of the end of Of Truth and Beasts he seems to have had an epiphany- only time will tell if it sticks. | |

Covers Always Lie: Largely averted, as each cover shows a scene that takes place in the novel. Played straight in that apart from the first and third, which have appropriately creepy looking Magieres, they show the heroine as looking like an ordinary human woman rather than the spooky half-undead she is. | |

No One Could Survive That!: So you burn and maim the local vampires then wreck their coffins before burning their lair and the warehouse above it to ashes. Not bad for first timers, but not nearly good enough. Magiere defies this trope during her final confrontation with Welstiel. When he starts toppling into a ravine she drags him back so she can cut his head off. | |

Our Vampires Are Different: They're fairly standard bloodsucking undead who fall dormant during the day, though they have Psychic Powers (precisely what this does varies from vamp to vamp), create others of their kind by draining mortals extremely quickly, and were created by the Big Bad to cleanse the world of mortal life. There are also "ordinary" vampires, who fit the more intelligent and sophisticated modern stereotypes, as compared to "ferals", which are more like the shambling animalistic corpses of medieval legend. | |

Freudian Excuse: Several. Chane's experiences with his abusive father fueled misanthropy that turned into full blown homicidal psychosis after becoming a vampire. Magiere got the idea for conning villagers because of how her own village hated and feared her for her obviously supernatural nature unusual appearance.

The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_ce9f550c | comment |
My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: Leesil's attempts at speaking Elvish. At one point, his attempt to ask an elf for directions comes out as an insult against the elf's mother. | |

Anti-Villain | |
The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: The three vampires from the first novel (well, maybe not Ratboy), who may be bloodsucking fiends but avoid killing where possible and just want the same thing the heroine does- to be left alone. They probably wouldn't have fought at all if Welstiel hadn't arranged it as a test for Magiere. | |

Vampires Are Sex Gods: some are, anyway. You'd have to have some ''very'' strange fetishes to go for Ratboy or especially the ferals, though. | |

Functional Magic | |
The Saga of the Noble Dead / int_dfe120e5 | comment |
Functional Magic: Anybody can learn Rule Magic; vampires and some others have Inherent Gift, and elven magic seems somewhere in between. In general, magic is divided into three spheres- thaumaturgy (deals with the physical, used for crafting artifacts), conjury (used for summoning elemental forces and spirits) and sorcery (dealing with the mind and spirit). The schools are not mutually exclusive, and can be combined to produce more dramatic effects (necromancy, for example, is a blend of conjury and sorcery). | |

Mysterious Protector: Welstiel appears and disappears seemingly at random, gives Magiere information and aid as she needs it but in a subversion, is probably the most dangerous human scale villain in the series | |

Pet the Dog: The only things Chane cares about apart from killing are scholarship and Wynn, and he's wiling to risk himself to protect her. Otherwise, he has no redeeming qualities. By the end of Child of a Dead God, though, he appears to recognize this and seems genuinely depressed about it, which may or may not count as a redeeming quality in and of itself, depending on how charitable one is. | |
