Why these tropes fit
A forgotten princess bound by blood to an ancient treaty is forced into a marriage with a prince she barely knows. She journeys across treacherous lands with a warrior who despises her as much as she despises him, traversing a cursed realm stalked by monsters sent by the gods of the five kingdoms. As everyone tries to make her into a queen, a spy, or a sacrifice, she resists the role chosen for her and discovers power in being underestimated—tearing off her crown to become the warrior she was never meant to be.
