!!Other works by Anne Bishop contain examples of:

* DenOfIniquity: The ''Ephemera'' novels have a Landscape called the Den of Iniquity. Described as a "carnal carnival", it's actually not a bad place, and the villains aren't welcome there.
* DreamWeaver: In the ''Ephemera'' series, it's implied that Incubus and Succubus can manipulate the dreams of others, mainly the erotic dreams, but anything with a strong emotional impact will do.
* FantasyWorldMap:
** There are maps in ''Tir Alainn'' books which have notes underneath them reading, "This map was created by a geographically challenged author. All distances are whimsical and subject to change without notice."
** Inverted in the ''Ephemera'' books: you couldn't draw a map even if you wanted because two different people can end up in two different places by going through the same gate depending on where the "heart resonates" with.
* HopeIsScary: Used extensively in the Ephemera series. A large portion of the second book is devoted to the main character puzzling over why places of darkness always have a sliver of light in them. Then it's brutally exploited when [[spoiler:Belladonna decides to use this trope to torture the [[NamesToRunAwayFrom World Eater]] relentlessly]].
* PatchworkWorld: The main premise of the Ephemera novels.
* SelkiesAndWereseals: In the ''Tir Alainne'' trilogy selkies are a member of the Fae race who must help witches avoid the mass murdering black inquisitors in order to stay alive.
* {{Uncoffee}}: The Ephemera novels, in what is probably the least-intrusive possible version of this trope, have ''koffee''. It is pretty explicitly just coffee, brewed from roasted beans, but in that universe it's a "black market" item that comes from a far away Landscape.

!!Tropes present in Anne Bishop's works:
* BerserkButton: She is very fond of having someone go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge to deal with the possibility of their family members being in danger.
* CanonSue: Her viewpoint character in each series is a young woman gifted with amazing powers who draws people together through the power of how awesome she is. (Of course, her fans [[TropesAreTools may argue that Tropes Are Not Bad]].)
* DarkFantasy: For the most part, her protagonists are magical creatures from the darkness, and often literal demons.
* FamilyOfChoice: A lot of the time, blood relatives end up being antagonists. The "real" families are those you make (or, in one case, the family you claim just to annoy people.)
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: And usually the good guys.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: Just as one example - who's the bad guy in Literature/TheOthers - the non-humans willing to murder humans for even the smallest offense, or the humans who refuse to follow the laws laid down by the Others when they settled on their continent? Of course, it often leads to...
** BlackAndGrayMorality:The answer, of course, are the groups who are sending all resources and food overseas, forcing shortages and trying to get humanity to rise up against the "original inhabitants."
