Why these tropes fit

When Gwen shattered the Iron Crystal and returned magic to Avalon, she also broke Mordred's heart and fled his wrath. Now the Prince in Iron hunts her relentlessly across Avalon's wilds, though at night he visits her in dreams, unable to sever the desire binding them. Released elementals seek revenge against Mordred and view Gwen as either ally or hostage. As battles loom, Gwen must choose between letting Avalon's newly-freed magic be destroyed once again or fighting to overthrow the man she loves.
