Why these tropes fit
A summer princess offered as a political bride to end a war arrives at her enemy Storm King's fortress disguised as a servant rather than as his betrothed, and he elects to play along with the deception. Locked together through the winter months in an uneasy charade, the reluctant arranged-marriage partners trade barbs as he tries to unmask her and she fights to keep her cover intact, letting political enmity thaw into unexpected romance with strong Hades and Persephone undertones.
