Why these tropes fit
Scarlett Monrhoe, a trained assassin raised alongside her two sisters, is locked away in a noble's household after a tragic night. Offered a job whose payment is revenge against the Fae Fire Prince who killed her mother, she must choose between her ideals and retribution. When children begin disappearing from her home, she abandons her plans to save them, aided by old friends, a jilted lover, and a newcomer claiming Fae magic exists in mortal lands. She delves into the world's darkest corners, uncovering forgotten secrets that reveal the darkness extends far beyond her kingdom.
