Why these tropes fit

Soraya Vel Ashan, a magic-less exile surviving on contract work in the deadlands, accepts Lord Caedris's mission: infiltrate the Night Court, get close to Prince Fenrin, and end him. Though truth-magic marks every lie, Fenrin sees through her cover yet inexplicably reaches toward her. She then discovers her silver hair is not a wound but a three-century-old bloodline carrying the only magic that can seal a darkness pressing against a door in the dead land. The truth emerges that Caedris never sent her to kill a prince—he sent her to remove the lock from a door he wants opened.
