Why these tropes fit

On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, royal witch Sophia expects to be married off to the lord of the king's choosing in a rigid arranged-marriage tradition. Instead, a palace attack throws her into the protective custody of royal guard Cameron, and their forced proximity forges an accidental magical bond that openly defies court tradition. Their forbidden union and Sophia's formidable magic draw the deadly attention of warring court factions, pulling the heroine into a web of court-intrigue where she must claim her own power to survive.
