Ye Booke back cover
Couldn't find words for the Nano Project one day last week, so I drafted a potential back cover text. What do you think?
Anna wants to use her magic to help food in the field grow bigger and stronger. Whenever she tries, the plants shrivel and die. Does this mean she must grow up to be an evil witch? What will that mean when her destiny manifests, and she meets Princess Snow White? Anna is determined to take control of her magic before that fateful meeting.
Three days before her thirteenth birthday, Anna sets off alone for the big city, where a new teacher might help her take control of her magic. Along the way, she meets a handsome young forest ranger. They share a picnic lunch, and Anna wonder how she can arrange for them to meet again. Guntrada, Anna’s new teacher, is impressed with her quick mind. Her method of using magic is different than the method Anna’s village witch taught, and the young witch’s confidence grows. The city folk soon discover the sheer strength of Anna’s witchcraft, and their respect for her grows as well.
Anna meets with a local dwarf family. They mine gold and gems, and craft them into magical artifacts. They used to sell their finished pieces in the capitol city, but the beautiful new queen passed a law forbidding non-human magic in the capitol. Now they want anna and her broomstick to help them expand their markets.
The young witch settles into her new life. Suddenly, a royal huntsman stumbles into her cottage. He has abandoned the royal princess in the forest, and must bring the beautiful queen proof of Snow White’s death. Can he do that without killing her? Can she find a place for the princess to hide? And, if the queen does find Snow White, can Anna protect her?
Anna’s destiny has manifested with a vengeance. Will she be up to the challenge?
It will need some tweaking, but I think it gets all the essential information out there. Or too much information?
Argh. NaNoWriMo season is not a good time for me to evaluate words, it seems.
