Why these tropes fit
Exiled necromancer and skilled thief Princess Bellanova has survived for years after escaping the death-like slumber curse laid over her family. To undo the curse and restore her fallen kingdom, she must pull off a heist to steal the magical Blade of Light from the underworld, a quest that forces her into a reluctant forced-proximity alliance with Aleksander, the Light King who wielded the blade the night her family was ruined and has been trapped in the underworld for nearly a decade. As they navigate monsters, unpredictable magic, and the fight to escape the underworld, their initial enemies dynamic slowly burns into a deeper romantic bond.
