Why these tropes fit
Arwen Valondale, burdened by 'newfound powers' and a 'prophecy of death,' sails toward Citrine on an 'expedition to recover the Blade of the Sun' alongside the 'man who betrayed her,' King Kane Ravenwood, whose 'presence is unavoidable' as he leads her party. She 'directs all of her pain and rage' toward Kane while battling 'unresolved feelings,' as Kane proves willing 'to become darkness itself to protect her.' Mourning 'the loss of her mother,' Arwen must face 'creatures, foes, and magic beyond her wildest imaginings' against the tyrannical Fae King Lazarus, knowing failure 'will seal both her own fate as well as the fates of those she loves most.'
