Hi lyrebyrd,

Barney got in before me and got it spot on.

By blurb, do you mean synopsis or blurb for the cover letter to the agent/publisher? Either way, you may do well to look at what Barney has done up and expand on it. You have the setting, a little bit about the FMC and a nice subtle twitch with the plot. I'd leave the setting as it is, flesh out the character a little more and throw some more strands into the plot.

Looks promising though and the story sounds great. Historical fiction?

Anyway, good luck. You're doing great and have come to the right place for comments.
