* AlternateTimeline: Volume two has two timelines. One follows the regular story, set in 1350, the other follows a druid and his apprentice, set in ca 50 bc. The two timelines intertwine, when the druid in the Roman setting effectively saves the knight in the medieval setting from assault. The characters also seem to be at the same spot at the same time in the two timelines. It gets a bit Timey-wimey when the apprentice is able to actually hear Mariotte cry for help 1400 years in the future. At one point, the apprentice drops a necklace in the water, only for Mariotte to pick it up again at the same spot. At this point, it seems that the apprentice serves as Mariotte's AlternateSelf (although male), while the druid has a similiar function for Yuna, getting shot by a Roman archer at the same monent some underworldly force shoots her. The ''Ar Rannou'' song serves as TheConstant, being sung by both the old druid and Yuna.

* KangarooCourt: Used prominently in volume three. An innocent chimney sweep and a girl of the town get theirs, later the knight, Carmine, Mariotte and Anicet.

* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Played to a tragic conclusion for all three of them. Neyrelle has both her sisters executed, and is finished herself (trampled down by a cattle herd).
* GorgeousPeriodDress: Neyrelle and Carmine respectively, being nobility and all.

* LoveMakesYouEvil: Neyrelle has feelings for the knight, and has no qualms about finishing him and Carmine when he chooses Carmine over her. I doesn't help much that she put them in the same cell to begin with (giving them the opportunity to have sex there).

** The end of the story owes a lot to ''Film/TheSeventhSeal'', almost quoting the end of the movie verbatim. An innkeeper in volume three has [[Literature/LesMiserables a barefoot ten year old girl serving him]]. To top it all, this girl is dressed in dirtyish white, red and blue, the colours of the French flag.
** Volume two owes a lot to the Breton folk song cycle ''Barzaz breiz'', making "The series" (''Ar Rannou'') a recurring theme - stating that this song has been handed down from druidical/roman times, eventually passing into medieval minstrel tradition - by showing Yuna (who learned the song from her grandmother), singing it to the WanderingMinstrel, Melaine Favennec - who happens to be a RealLife singer from the area.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The knight's second-in-command, who acted on Neyrelle's orders to execute Blanche, is [[OffWithHisHead summarily decapitated]] by Neyrelle when she has no more use of him. She makes a point of presenting his head to the knight.
