Why these tropes fit

Six cursed rulers are summoned to the island of Lightlark to compete in the Centennial, a deadly tournament where one must die to break the curses afflicting their realms. Isla Crown, the young ruler of Wildling—a realm whose inhabitants are cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with—must lie, cheat, and betray to survive and end her people's suffering. While each ruler guards secrets, Isla's mission is complicated by forbidden love.
