Why these tropes fit

This romantasy centers on a siren burdened with a seven-year magical debt bracelet that can only be erased by death or repayment, as she rekindles a past romance with the morally gray fae king who spurned her long ago. The pair team up on a quest to save his people from a foe targeting exotic magical creatures, with the siren's resilience and the king's haunted past shaping their tense, darkly magical dynamic.
