Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cinda Williams Chima's take on High Fantasy. A series of novels that take place within the world of, obviously, the Seven Realms. According to legend, a thousand years ago an evil wizard named Alger Waterlow (known to plebs solely as the Demon King) kidnapped Queen Hanalea of the Fells and nearly caused the end of the world. However, Hanalea escaped. She rallied an army made of both wizards and members of the Spirit Clans, who then defeated the Demon King and restored order to the Seven Realms. The Demon King's reign of terror has come to be known as The Breaking.Fast-forward a thousand years and we have the events of the main series, following (former) street thug Han Alister and Princess Heir Raisa ana'Marianna, of the Gray Wolf line of queens descended from Hanalea. Although first independent of each other, their worlds collide when a conspiracy emerges around the vastly powerful Bayar House and the Demon King's amulet. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In book one, The Demon King, Han is having trouble breaking away from his former life as a notorious streetlord, when one day he (accidentally) steals a strange amulet from the Bayars. The amulet brings more trouble than it's worth, though, including the undying enmity of the Bayar family and even a dangerous connection with the Demon King of legend. Meanwhile, Raisa is faced with political tension and potential threats to her ascension to the throne of the Fells, on top of her approaching name day and a looming marriage contract.Book two, The Exiled Queen, follows Han and Raisa as they attempt to escape the political turmoil in their home by attending the world-famous schools at Oden's Ford. Han meets a powerful and mysterious ally named Crow, who comes offering to teach him—and aid with his vendetta against the Bayars. Meanwhile, at the same school, Raisa (hiding under a pseudonym) works to take a level in badass.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Book three, The Gray Wolf Throne, initially focuses more upon Raisa as she travels back home. All the while, she's pursued by assassins that wish to prevent this. Han risks his life to help her, but when he has recovered, he finds out to his dismay that the girl he knew and loved as "Rebecca" is actually the princess heir of his country. The two of them are forced into a world of politics and treachery—but this time, with the highest stakes yet.Book four, The Crimson Crown, was released in October 2012. The plot focuses mainly on the large tension caused by Han's sheer presence, as well as the fact that he's found a powerful object that could possibly unite the Fells once and for all. But can he do so before he's assassinated?Chima has written a sequel series known as The Shattered Realms, with the first book, Flamecaster released in April 2016. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something: Raisa invokes this in book one with the Briar Rose Ministry, a charity she and her father personally fund. She later brings it up to eleven in book three, as a good chunk of the book is her going around, telling off her subjects about serious issues with the government, and helping people out. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| The Seven Realms Series / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Micah, of all people! At Oden's Ford, when he realizes that his status back home won't get him anywhere with the staff, he quickly adopts a few Bitch in Sheep's Clothing tendencies. With the Wizard students, he takes advantage of Han's past and tells everyone that Han's a street rat and a murderous thug. Albeit this is somewhat true; Han did try to kill Micah's father, but Micah conveniently leaves out how Gavan is responsible for the successful murder of Han's family. This actually works to Han's advantage in the most part since he doesn't really care what other people think about him. Most students leave Han alone, and his past makes him somewhat of a sex god in the eyes of the female students at Oden's Ford. Including Fiona Bayar. | |

Covered with Scars: Han appears to have a lot of scars from his time as streetlord of the Raggers. Raisa notices one above his right eye often, but all he's said about it is that he "took a risk". Cat also fits this, along with Tattooed Crook. | |

Conflict Ball | |
| The Seven Realms Series / int_3c598f56 | comment |
Conflict Ball: The clans (especially the Demonai) and the wizards put their ongoing power struggle over everything else, even the invasion of the Fells by Arden fails to unite them. Gets ridiculous near the end of the fourth book when Han gives the clan leaders a choice, either team up with the wizards to stop the aforementioned invasion or he'll have to give the wizards a treasure trove of magical weapons so they can do it alone. The Demonai's response to this is to threaten to kill him. | |

Blatant Lies | |
| The Seven Realms Series / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: The Bayars are very fond of this trope, especially Gavan. To list a few instances: Micah and co. started a fire at the start of book one, but they were given an honor for having stopped it; Gavan initiates the murders of countless innocents in the slums when tracking Han down; he also sets fire to the lower city in the hopes of framing Han; towards the climax of book four, he convinces Micah to lie to Raisa and say that Han is dead in order to get Raisa to marry him; and possibly the most egregious example of all: the Bayars kidnapped Hanalea and caused The Breaking when they messed with Alger's amulet. They deserved all of the falk the so-called Demon King got, not Alger. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Seven Realms Series / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Everyone, especially Valefolk and especially southerners who've never met a clansman, despise and look down upon said clansmen. They're rarely referred to sans the derogatory nickname of "copperhead"—even Dancer uses this to refer to himself a couple times. Even wizards, powerful and blue-blooded as they are, are not met with reverence or respect outside of the Fells. The clans refer to them as "jinxflingers" (the tamest of several nicknames), and southerners perceive them with reactions ranging from disbelief to seeing them as heretics (see the Church of Malthus). | |

| The Seven Realms Series / int_8a817c2a | comment |
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Forever burn in the Breaker's clutches, Gavan! The scene that goes back to the actual rape is very chilling. It begins by painting Gavan in a sympathetic light. He's surprised that Willo is so beautiful, and it looks like there might have been more to the incident than we were originally lead to believe. But then Gavan gives Willo the ring—the one we know is the magical equivalent to a date rape drug. We even hear him say "Now lets see if we can get all these skins off." | |

Written by the Victors: A lot of history regarding The Breaking has been skewed. This is suggested in-universe by Micah, claiming the clans did it to justify putting restraints on the wizards. Ironically, this was actually done by the Bayars, covering up the fact that they were the ones kidnapping Hanalea and forcing her into marriage, not the Demon King. | |

King Markus shows shades of this due to his taking a personal vendetta against the Fells simply because Raisa, a woman, rejected his oh-so-generous marriage proposal. | |

| The Seven Realms Series / int_abe4d7b | comment |
Even wizards, powerful and blue-blooded as they are, are not met with reverence or respect outside of the Fells. The clans refer to them as "jinxflingers" (the tamest of several nicknames), and southerners perceive them with reactions ranging from disbelief to seeing them as heretics (see the Church of Malthus). | |

Luke, I Am Your Father | |
| The Seven Realms Series / int_c83a589c | comment |
Luke, I Am Your Father: Can be considered an inversion as the son in this case (and the descendant in another) are fully aware of their lineage, but the older generation isn't. In a nutshell, Fire Dancer is Gavan Bayar's illegitimate son, conceived after the High Wizard raped Willo. They both work hard to make everyone think that Willo doesn't know who the wizard that raped her was in order to keep Dancer safe. Whilst Han is the descendant of the Demon King, thus bearing incredible magical power. | |

Hypocrite: When Han complains that "Rebecca" had been lying to him, Fire Dancer points out he was keeping things from her as well. The Demonai have some moments, such as advocating countering the Bayar's suspected treason by kidnapping the lawfully appointed heir to get a more suitable one crowned instead. | |

| The Seven Realms Series / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Elena, Averill, and Willo in book 1, Taim Askell in book 2, and Willo and Raisa for the last two books. Motive Decay: Elena and Averill start out level-headed and reliable but as the political situation complicates and what is good for the Fells diverges from what is good for the clans/bad for the wizards, they pursue the latter. | |

Hate Sink: Mac Gillian and Gavan Bayar - they lack the Character Development that Micah undergoes, are not shown anywhere near as sympathetic as Fiona, and both are directly involved in antagonizing Han and Raisa.
