Why these tropes fit

Viv, a battle-hungry orc mercenary with Rackam's Ravens, is wounded while hunting a necromancer and sent against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk. Far from the action she craves, she unexpectedly spends her hours at a beleaguered bookshop with its foul-mouthed proprietor, an experience that becomes the seed of changes she couldn't have imagined. Meanwhile, Murk proves far more eventful than expected: a suspicious gray-clad traveler, a chip-on-her-shoulder gnome, a summer fling, and an improbable number of skeletons complicate Viv's recovery and pull her into an adventure of her own.
