Why these tropes fit
This high-fantasy epic saga follows Casteel and Poppy, who have been fighting an ongoing battle against rising primal powers. After Poppy ascends as the true Primal of Life and Death and falls into magical stasis, Cas is left waiting for her to wake, tormented by the fear that her transformation will permanently separate them. As he speaks to her to share memories of their journey, gods awaken across multiple realms, signaling the large-scale war they’ve been preparing for is beginning, with unknown changes awaiting both the world and their relationship when Poppy opens her eyes.
