"While trying to avert tragedy she was betrayed by those she trusted most." This seems like it fits quite well with the shadow isles theory pasta.

The king of the shadow isles about to end a century long war agrees to wed his daughter with the opposition's son. Mordekaiser, a great general who had seen his men die in the fires of this war, does not want it to end in "peace", he sends hecarim,his best horseman, to assasinate the princess, he succeeds, but is then betrayed by mordekaiser, beaten to death and bound to his horse. Mordekaiser offers the grieving king a spell, a spell that could summon a mist so powerful it could not only resurrect his daughter and win the war but granted immortality to everyone in the kingdom. well, it's kinda obvious what happened after that, spell backfires, the king's spirit now trapped in a sword used in the league(botrk), and the great kingdom now a wasteland of undying spirits.

perhaps kalista was a spear general who knew of the black mist and tried to stop the ritual, only to be killed by her own men, who themselves believed in mordekaiser's ideals. which explains the many spears on her back.
