Why these tropes fit

Set in a high-fantasy world where dark forces have defeated Princess Briony Rosewood’s kingdom, the story follows Briony after her castle is overrun: she is captured, stripped of her magic, and auctioned off to Toven Hearst, heir of the ruling magical family that conquered her people and the object of her long-held, unresolved infatuation. Forced to adapt to the cruel, unfamiliar world of her captors and the role she must fill as Toven’s possession, Briony clings to the hope that unexpected aid may yet arrive.
