* CoolGate: Emma keeps opening doors and finding Princess Ysabo. She never dares go in for fear that she can't come back. And one day when she opens the door to her grandmother's room, it shows the princess in a different room. She closes it, reopens it, and finds her grandmother's room.
* {{Curse}}: The book revolves about a wizard's curse.

* HiddenDepths: Miranda Beryl arrives at the house of her dying relative and seems a perfect city-loving BlueBlood. Then, when Emma [[spoiler:see Ridley Dow caught in magic and is unable to rescue him, Miranda calls him by his [[FirstNameBasis first name]], which works, and arranges for him to be brought to a room with total competence and complete disregard for what happens to her clothes in the process -- and evinces knowledge about magic. Whereupon she recruits Emma to help her keep up the facade of a BlueBlood heiress waiting for her inheritance.]]

* MandatoryMotherhood: Ysabo is told the reason she must submit to the ArrangedMarriage is to have a child; her mother and grandmother are baffled by her resistance, since she must have one.
* OldRetainer: Lady Eglatyne's cook is distraught as the lady is dying. She can find another place, but she had served Lady Eglatyne since she was a little girl.
* {{Pirate}}: Invoked: Dalia wants Gwyneth to write about pirates. When Raven objects that pirates are uncouth and wouldn't know what to do with tea -- probably use the teapot to drink rum -- Dalia objects that she wants nice pirates who were driven to it and would be glad to give it up.
* RavensAndCrows: Once Emma opens a door to find [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Princess]] Ysabo surrounded by a dozen crows. This proves to be part of a ritual which Princess Ysabo is bound to. [[spoiler:And in the end, they proved to be [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting transformed]] [[KnightInShiningArmor knights]].]]
* SpellBook: Ysabo's ritual includes turning one page in a blank book every day. When Ridley Dow appears, he shows her it filled with marvelous images, and says it is a magic book. [[spoiler:It turns out to be the book into which [[TheHighQueen Queen Hydria]]'s court has been enchanted.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether: When Nemos Moore learns that Ridley Dow is his great to the nth grand nephew (how many generations is never made clear), and Dow rejects the notion of leaving, Moore offers to teach him magic -- and perhaps, in time, to think like him.
* WildHair: Emma's mother Hesper went to live in a tree in the forest. She had always been neat at her grandmother's, but now she has wild hair.
