Why these tropes fit
In this dragon-themed romantasy, a resilient young heroine is given as tribute to a brutal, cursed Dragon King who hides his true dragon form and keeps his distance by imprisoning her in a cold tower. Forced into proximity and eventually an arranged marriage, the gruff immortal and the determined captive navigate a slow-burn relationship complicated by fate-binding, a slavery plot, and a magical nemesis threatening his neglected kingdom. The curse that compels him to wed and the heroine's sacrifice of freedom to save her sister anchor the central emotional conflict.
