Why these tropes fit
Saeris, a thief concealing strange Alchemist powers, is hurled through a gateway into the Fae realm of Yvelia, where she accidentally bonds herself to Kingfisher—a handsome, murky-past Fae warrior who is literally Death. He intends to wield her magic for his people's protection at any cost to her, and since he's her sole route back to her own world, the two are locked together in a forced-proximity clash of agendas that edges toward an enemies-to-lovers arc steeped in fae lore and centuries-long conflict.
