Why these tropes fit
Our Vicious Oaths is a romantasy novel following Kadeesha, a warrior-princess of the Aether Dominion bound by an infant betrothal to the tyrannical Hyperion High King. On her wedding day, Malachi, the new king of the decimated rival Apollyon fae court, attacks, kills her father, wounds the High King, and takes Kadeesha hostage. The pair forge a pact: Kadeesha will help Malachi lure the High King to his death to avenge the destruction of Malachi’s court, and Malachi will spare Kadeesha and her people. Forced into close proximity as they plot against their common enemy, the former rivals from opposing fae courts struggle to deny the powerful attraction blooming between them, even as they must feign a public connection to goad the High King into Malachi’s trap.
