| Re: Back-side blurb
Agreed. Too much character info for a blurb and a shade too obvious. BTW, isn't all Fantasy basically about the same thing? It's just the new angles and breath of fresh writing that makes a standout.
As example and IMO, not my writing, if it pleases.
In the south, the theocratic empire of Durcac, seek an advantage against a rival nation and send their armies north. General Nârkizâ, a faithful but skeptical leader, must now balance his conscience between his god or his homeland.
In the peaceful town of Redglen, the young mage Carzain is bored with life as a minor scholar. When the king of Runger invades, Carzain volunteers for the army and in the chaos of war, Carzain begins to discover dark secrets buried in his past.
And in the shadows, a sinister and long forgotten force awakens. A ten-thousand-year underground war between two shadowy brotherhoods is about to erupt in full flame.
That's really the only info people need to know. Now you can embelish this with some fanciful adverbs/adjectives. OK, so don't get rid of your original blurb. That's what you're going to use when you submit your synopsis. See - all used, nothing goes to waste. |
