One main theme is the concept of immortality. The tomb kings are undead, and their quest to maintain their existence and power in the afterlife is a recurring theme.
Another theme is the clash between the old and the new. The tomb kings represent an ancient order, and in the novels, they often come into conflict with modern or other emerging forces. For example, they might face off against new kingdoms or new forms of magic that threaten their long - held traditions.
The mystery of the tombs is also a big theme. These tombs are filled with traps, ancient spells, and treasures. In the tomb kings novels, characters are constantly exploring these tombs, and the mystery and danger within them drive the plot forward. It's about uncovering the secrets of a bygone era and the power that lies within those secrets.
