Why these tropes fit
Arwen Valondale sacrifices herself to save her brother, only to be captured by the vicious Onyx King and imprisoned in his castle, where she is forced to use her rare healing magic on his soldiers. Trapped in enemy territory, her only chance of escape is working with a fellow prisoner—a cunning man who torments her fears. Arwen must navigate treacherous royals, dark magic, and deadly beasts while trying to awaken the dormant power within her.
