Remember that young adult fantasy novel I worked so hard to finish this spring? Well, I'm finally editing it. I'm using something called the "One-Pass Manuscript Revision" as detailed by Holly Lisle, and so far it's going extremely well. I have a lot of work to do, but I'm confident I can finish this thing to be ready for querying by the end of the summer.
Here is my recently reworked back cover blurb:
Luca has trained with the Northern Sun Sages for as long as he can remember. Soon he hopes to become a full member of the order and pledge his life to the service of the ancient and eternal Sun God.
Kai is the oldest of seven siblings. Living on the edge of the Sun Sages' lands working a failing farm, every day is a struggle to survive. Kai does what she can to help her family, but she feels like the only one to notice that summer is wearing out its welcome.
When the devout Brother Martin comes from the capital to train Luca and his mysterious new powers, Luca's master reveals to the boy that his destiny is much different from that of the sage he hoped to become. On the run from this new destiny, Luca's world collides with Kai's - and she is not happy to meet him.
After a shared vision of a woman bound and calling to them for help, Luca and Kai set out on a journey of discovery together. But their ultimate goal is a grave... The grave of the Moon Goddess.
What do you think? Intrigued yet?
