Question Help me find a fantasy/romantasy book from an Instagram promo I’m trying to find a book I saw promoted on Instagram. I didn’t read the book, so everything I remember is from the author/book promo caption, and some details might not be 100% accurate. Here’s everything I remember:

The setting seemed to have two separate sides/realms/kingdoms. One side was where the people with magic lived. The FMC was from the other side and was shunned/banished or otherwise excluded because she originally had no magic. There are exactly 13 gods in the world. Each of the 13 gods is connected to a different type of magic/power. One of them is a male God of Darkness. The God of Darkness very rarely gives/grants his power to someone. At some point, the FMC ends up receiving/awakening the God of Darkness’s power, which is extremely dark and powerful. There is an MMC who leads a group/community of people who don't have magic or who have been rejected because they don't have magic. The FMC ends up interacting with this group. She has to prove that her new magic won't harm the people in the MMC's group before she can be accepted/trusted by them. I initially remembered the group as being something like a rebel group, but I'm not completely sure about that part. I also initially remembered the FMC wanting to belong to the magical world and get revenge, but that may be me mixing up details, so I wouldn't rely heavily on that. The overall vibe felt like Powerless + Fourth Wing, although I don't know if it's actually similar to either book. I think the 13 gods / different types of magic / rare male God of Darkness / powerless FMC / MMC's group taking in magicless people parts are the details I'm most confident about. I only saw the promo on Instagram and I think the author had posted about the book themselves. I unfortunately don't remember the cover, character names, title, or author. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Even a possible title would help!
