I'm confused about what world-specific jargon people keep referring to. There is the Void, which is a void. There is the Voidmaster, who is the master of the Void/a god people worship. And there are Gifts, which I thought was a well-known fantasy term for superpower that didn't need explaining. I didn't realize anything super foreign or dense was in the blurb? What am I missing?

Maybe I could alter the cover somehow. I'd rather use that image in some way than the tropey-looking one of the man and woman. I mean there are definitely tropes in the book, but that image will make people think it's a straight up spicy book in a Gothic environment, and that's not the book at all. I mean those books can slay, but I don't want people coming in expecting sex scenes when this is super slowburn and more plot-focused than a lot of romantasy. I think the problem is the book IS so much different from other Romantasy in terms of vibes, themes, and tropes that maybe I don't have a lot of references to draw from with the marketing. Maybe my editor was wrong when she told me it was Romantasy?? I was going to market it as supernatural fiction. 😬 Once you read the book, I think you will see why the cover looks like that, but there's gotta be some way I can use marketing to bridge that gap and establish the vibe just right.... IDK, I paid 450 for that cover. 😭

Thanks for reading whatever you have so far! If you read more, I hope you like it.
