Why these tropes fit

Paper magic apprentice Ceony Twill conceals her rare, unprecedented ability to wield magic outside her designated discipline from her mentor Emery Thane. As she nears her final magician's exam, Emery sends her to be tested by a hostile Folder who resents him to avoid favoritism. Her situation escalates when a murderous criminal from her past escapes prison, intent on revenge. Ceony must track the convict across England to protect her life and loved ones, confronting a foe who commands a form of magic she does not possess that may outmatch all her own skills.
