Why these tropes fit
A Strange Hymn is a romantasy novel following Callypso Lillis, fated soulmate of the King of Night, and her partner Desmond Flynn. Still bearing physical scars from her captivity under the mad king Karnon, Callie joins Des in hunting the active Thief of Souls, a mission that brings them to the fae-ruled Kingdom of Flora. There, they navigate cutthroat royal court intrigues, untangle the conflicting, often dangerous motives of the realm’s deceptive fairy inhabitants, and uncover the source of the land’s dark magical anomalies—from bleeding trees to a network of branded slaves—all while Des’s growing stack of hidden secrets threatens to destabilize their bond.
