Why these tropes fit

Fifteen hundred years ago, the gargoyle warrior Frey was cursed into stone by a vicious fae queen, his magick stolen and his hope slowly fading across the centuries. When he and his kin are placed in a modern museum, his stone prison is finally broken by the arrival of Anna Kincaid, a struggling history graduate thrilled by her first real job. The museum is owned by a mysterious couple who refer to the gargoyle collection as their clan. When masked commandos storm the museum one night, Frey comes alive to save Anna, flies off with her, tucks her against his body, and growls 'mate,' claiming her as his fated partner. The medieval warrior must navigate a modern world he does not understand while pursuing the destiny and protection he has waited lifetimes for.
