Dark YA Fantasy seems to be pretty huge right now. Apart from that, the world seems downright fascinating! I love the worldbuilding and the lore you have and to me, that would make it stand out (And according to ASP Settings : video 1, if you have a good book and a winning world, that’s the key to success).
You may find the lack of romance narrows your market, or widens it. I know there are certainly readers who are vocal about there being too much of it, and looking for books without. I don’t know if there are actual numbers for that audience, though.
If nothing else, I want to read it 😀
