Why these tropes fit

A captive enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance built on a fated-mates bond between a enslaved heroine and the Troll King who steals her from the giants who hold her; she resists being anyone's savior or queen while longing to flee, forced into proximity with a dangerous protector whose people need her. The first installment of a larger high-fantasy saga carries heavy angst, themes of trauma and abuse, and an undertone of dark romance.
