Why these tropes fit

A prequel to the Bargainer series, this novel traces the origin of Desmond Flynn, a fairy born as the bastard son of a scribe to a weak mother and cursed with little magic, who was fated to marry a slave but whose destiny took a different turn. His journey spans from the barren caves of Arestys to the palace of Somnia and the streets of earth, charting how he rose from nothing to become the Emperor of Evening Stars.
