Why these tropes fit
A tall young woman, too tall for any village suitor, sets off to seek her fortune and arrives at a seaside circus where she learns of the last living giant. Lured by a ringmaster's promise of riches, she climbs a magic beanstalk to the giant's forest home, only to be snared by faery vines. The antisocial giant is enraged at her trespass, but their forced captivity kindles passion. As she falls for him, she discovers that loving the last giant makes her a target in a hostile world.
