The book follows the adventures of Nahlia Cole after her home is attacked by the Templars and she's forced to infiltrate a [[WizardingSchool secret northern academy]].

* AbandonedMine: Starglade has one of these.

* TheAce: Elias. He's handsome, friendly, flirtatious, and considered to be the best student duelist in Whitecliff Academy. During his sister's POV chapters, she often remarks how easy things come to him.
* ActionGirl: Ciena and Relyn both fit this role.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Most of the book is told from Nahlia’s perspective with the occasional chapter from Thane or Ciena. But towards the end of the novel, there are several chapters from [[spoiler: Nahlia’s father’s]] point of view.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Codex.
* BadassBookworm: Nahlia starts out the first book as a librarian’s apprentice. She goes on to learn Ethermancy from books since few living people believe in the lost magic.
* BaldOfEvil: The Templar officer, Gallow, is pretty much of the epitome of this trope. The trope is {{subverted}} with Marwyn, however.

* BrotherSisterTeam: Elias and Ciena.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Not just a single technique, but literally all of Ethermancy.

* EvilUncle: Cladius Raider.

* FighterMageThief: Ciena, Nahlia, and Kira, respectively. Although Book 1's female leads are never in the same place at the same time, they all fit their roles. In Book 2, Relyn fills in the role of thief.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Nahlia is surrounded by water in the moment she [[spoiler: resurrects Elias.]] Thane is surrounded by fire in the moment [[spoiler: Kira dies.]]

* HalfHumanHybrid: Nahlia is half-Aeon, half-human

* LookingBusy: In the beginning of the book, Nahlia's pretends to be scrubbing a table while she's eavesdropping on Thane's conversation with the locals.
* {{Ninja}}: The Sile’zhar are an elite group of assassins from the east who are clad in black from head to toe, leaving a narrow slit for their eyes.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Nahlia survives several dangerous situations that would have been lethal for most people. Most notably [[spoiler: taking a bullet in the chest, then falling into a river from dozens of feet up.]] {{Justified|Trope}} due to [[spoiler: her healing abilities]]
* NotoriousParent: Nahlia finds out that her father deserted the Templar Order (the very faction that's currently hunting her.)

** Nahlia [[spoiler: finds out that her mother is still alive]]
** Thane [[spoiler: swears an oath to take Nahlia to Dragonshard to see her mother.]]
** Ciena [[spoiler: witnesses her twin brother die, then gets captured by the Templars.]]
** Cole [[spoiler: is tasked with uniting the Aeons and humans against the invaders.]]

* XanatosGambit: A foreign ruler orchestrated a war between Reverie’s two strongest races: the humans, and the Aeons who ruled over them. If the Aeons won the war, they would be without their armies. If the humans won the war, they would be without their leaders. Either way, the continent was weakened.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In Book 2, when they go to rescue [[spoiler: Ciena from the Templars]] they get there too late and discover that someone else found her first.
