When Em marries the son of the king who ordered her people hunted down and killed, she doesn't plan on falling for him. Doing so is unfortunate: if her plan works, he and his family will die. The politics and logistics of this revenge plot are overshadowed by the romance, but the complex emotional core will still attract readers.
