Why these tropes fit
Bayr, a supernaturally strong guardian of the cursed kingdom of Saylok, is bound to protect Alba, the first girl born in the realm in nearly 20 years after a dying queen cursed the land to produce no more daughters. As the pair grow closer while fending off threats to their people from both inside and outside the kingdom, they discover they are marked for death by the corrupt, power-hungry king who seized power through lies, murder, and betrayal. To save their home from the king’s tyranny, they must embark on a perilous quest to break the ancient curse, a mission that could either rescue the kingdom or destroy them both.
