So far I've written three different versions of the book description for Blood Brothers. The newest version is an effort to maximize "punch" and "hook-iness". I was hesitant to use this approach before because the book itself isn't written in such a style--personally I think this style is most appropriate for Suspense/Thrillers. But hey, I figured I'd give it a try and see if it affects sales. Check it out:
REJECTED BY HIS PEOPLE...
A Bloodmark--a dark red stain marring one side of his face. Grillis was born with it, and because of it, the townspeople of Bonnehampton want nothing to do with him. The only person to ever show him any kindness is his grandmother. And now she's dead.
BETRAYED BY HIS RACE...
Horn head. Goat-son bastard. Witch. Athemon is of the Caprine race, and because of that he's been called all of these things. But Athemon learns that his race can be a source of power instead of oppression. And when he starts to harness that power, his own family turns against him.
SELECTED BY A GOD...
She is the mist that moves in the forest. She is the mother of all things. And She has chosen Verlvik for Herself, marking him in his body and his spirit. What She has claimed must be given. And what She has claimed is Verlvik's very life.
THROWN TOGETHER BY THE FATES...
Grillis. Athemon. Verlvik. Three young men, struggling to survive in a world where monsters roam, and where men are monstrous. A world where a single stroke of an axe can start a series of events that will threaten an entire nation. A world where brotherhood offers the only hope of redemption, and brotherhood isn't something you're born into, it's something you earn.
SPILLED BLOOD MAKES BROTHERS.
