Why these tropes fit
Half-Fae Elessia, who can compel others through eye contact, is imprisoned in the Fae king's dungeons after a tragic accident and forced to swear a blood oath binding her to his service. Five years later, she's built a life among humans in Ellow, but the king returns to collect on her debt. Tasked with infiltrating human elections to investigate the current regent's involvement in strange Fae realm events, she must evade her ever-watchful lethal Fae guard. As she grows closer to the brooding human regent and secrets unravel, she faces a choice between her own freedom and that of an entire nation.
