The cover isn't visually appealing to me. The text doesn't mesh well with the color scheme and most of the text is hard to read or can't be read at all. Although I do get a sense that this is a romance novel, I think that the cover needs to be updated to ensure all the visual elements are visual and mesh well together.

I recommend searching through Wattpad cover shops or looking at published romance novels to get a sense of what kind of cover you should shoot for.

The blurb isn't very inspiring. It's missing a lot of key elements and is told in a rather distanced way. What do I mean by distanced? It reads as though there are some things that are underdeveloped or perhaps you're trying to generate too much mystery for the story to entice the reader to read more. Unfortunately, it's doing the opposite and doesn't provide enough information to give the reader an idea of what the story will be about. We can assume it's romance because of the cover, tags, and the mention of the two male characters in the blurb, but you need to take it a step further and make it less vague. What is the "wild story" and what are these "inner battles"?

Overall, I don't understand what the stakes are, what the real conflict is, and what the consequences are if she doesn't succeed in uniting the two races. Think of it along this framework: [character] has to [action A] in order to [resolution]. Something that helps me put together a blurb is to map out the major plot points.

For payment, you'll see that you needed to read my story, Dance of the Dragons. In the final paragraph of the blurb, you'll see that the conflict is becoming the Empress and being accepted as the Emperor's mate. This is the overall conflict and there is an implication that she'll lose it all if she fails. Determine what's most important, what motivates the characters, and what's at stake and the rest should come easily. If you have difficulty, I recommend looking at the backs of books in your genre to get an understanding of tone, ambiance, and structure.
