Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Cate Tiernan is the author of the Sweep series (known as Wicca in the UK), the Balefire series, and the first book of the Immortal Beloved trilogy by the same name. The second book of the series is due to come out in 2011.

She writes under a pseudonym. Her website is here.

Cate Tiernan provides examples of the following tropes:
  • No Export for You Balefire was only published in the US and Denmark, though that may have changed since.
  • Witch Species Both Wicca and Balefire are centred around people who are born witches.
  • Immortality Immorality It's implied that most immortals are this at some point- forever, it seems, is more than long enough to get bored with being nice.
  • Secret Legacy Cate Tiernan seems to like this trope an awful lot...
  • Magick In all three series.
  • Always Identical Twins In Balefire
