Books with Trope: chosen one

The Chosen One trope centers on a character destined for greatness, whether through prophecy, bloodline, or special abilities. In romance, this often means navigating a relationship while dealing with world-saving responsibilities or unique powers. The romantic interest may be drawn to the chosen one's power, serve as their anchor to humanity, or share in their destiny. This trope allows exploration of how extraordinary circumstances affect ordinary relationship needs like trust, intimacy, and partnership.
