Why these tropes fit
A high-fantasy forced marriage pits a brash, dagger-wielding heroine against the tender-hearted but emotionally broken scion of her family's sworn enemies, with both heirs bound together by a manipulative king's court intrigue. The reluctant bride must choose between building a life within enemy walls or plunging the realm into war, layering heavy angst over a slow-burning enemies-to-lovers dynamic.
