Here's the abstract:

Romantasy is a modern literary genre that combines romance literature and fantasy. This bachelor’s thesis focuses on these genres, highlighting their typical tropes that romantasy adopts and further develops. These tropes are then analysed in the novel Bride by Ali Hazelwood, who is primarily known for her works in romantic young adult and new adult fiction. The aim of this thesis is to support the classification of Bride as a romantasy and to show how the author incorporates key characteristics that define this genre.
