| Re: Imperial Spy
Have to admit it does seem a little flat, but it depends upon your target audience. I think in that regard Leto raises an interesting point about genre - can you simply state what sort of world is this set in within the blurb?
As a personal suggestion:
"In a world of magic and murder, a young woman is sent to spy on a King's court, only to become snared in an elaborate trap. Isolated in a hostile country, and with an arch-enemy closing for revenge, she must use all of her skills and wits to survive."
Point of the above is to quickly and clearly emphasise a couple of things for your targeted marketing audience, namely that it's a general fantasy novel, the protagonist is female, and also hint at tensions within the book, rather than trying to relate plot.
Simply suggestive in case applicable. |
