Why these tropes fit
Imogen Nel, a Siren with hidden black wings and bloodlust, conceals her identity in a kingdom that hunts her kind. When a visiting king recognizes what she is and believes she can save both their kingdoms from a greater threat, they form a blood bond for mutual protection. Fleeing through undead-infested waters, the two struggle as romantic desire conflicts with their duties to their people. Imogen must ultimately decide whether embracing her monstrous nature is necessary to defeat the greater evil pursuing her.
