Why these tropes fit

Set in the magical kingdom of Austermeer, where Great Libraries hold sentient, dangerous grimoires, foundling apprentice Elisabeth has been raised to believe all sorcerers are evil. When a library sabotage frames her for releasing a deadly grimoire, she has no choice but to ally with her sworn enemy, sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his demonic servant to stop a centuries-old conspiracy that threatens to burn the Great Libraries and destroy the world. As they work together, Elisabeth questions her lifelong beliefs, discovers a hidden magical power she never knew she possessed, and navigates her evolving feelings for the sorcerer she was taught to fear.
