Hi, guys!
I'm so close to releasing LEGACY OF THE EMPRESS, I can taste it, and now I'm getting my blurb ready to go...
May I get some opinions and advice?
I haven't tweaked this since it was a query letter, so any critiques would be *greatly* appreciated!
The book is a 95k fantasy novel. Here's what I have so far:
Astrid’s been a prisoner in her own castle since she was a child. Her mother, the queen, locked her away after being corrupted by dark magic—the same evil that is spreading throughout the kingdoms of Taleria and feeding off the people.
Now eighteen, Astrid escapes using a book of magic she found hidden under the floor. Power is growing within her--she hopes it will be enough to stop her mother and save the lands from the shadow creeping over them. To scourge the dark magic, she must find and free an imprisoned Empress who banished the same evil centuries before.
Beautiful creatures twisted into monsters, uncertain allies, and the deadly mystery of the book she possesses are the least of her concerns. As she faces the darkness before her, she discovers that saving the land she loves may ultimately mean watching it burn.
Help? Thanks in advance!
