The Legend Thief (A Summary)
The blog tour is in full swing. A big thanks to Dave Butler Writes for kicking things off yesterday! If you want the gory details about the possibility of a Return to Exile movie, visit his site.
Today's stop is Books: A True Story. Make sure to stop by for a chance to win a Mother-Daughter Hunter's Bracelet! I also talk about some of the books that inspired me and some of the history behind Return to Exile.
We have a different tour stop nearly every day, and sometimes more than one, so make sure to check the calendar!
Yesterday, I finally got around to writing a summary for The Hunter Chronicles, Book 2: The Legend Thief. I sent it to my agent and editor last night to get their thoughts. This likely isn't the final summary that will appear on the book flap, but I thought I would give you a taste of what's to come in The Legend Thief, which comes out December 4th of this year.
THE LEGEND THIEF SUMMARY (ROUGH)
A MODERN FANTASY ADVENTURE. A WORLD HIDDEN WITHIN OUR OWN.
Scarcely a year has passed since Sky Weathers survived thefirst snare and, even more surprisingly, sixth grade. But a new trap is on thehorizon and escaping it will take every ounce of cleverness he can muster.Bedlam, brother of the Arkhon, son of Legend, and father of the Edgewalkers,has sworn to kill every last hunter and he's bringing a horrifying army toExile.
And he's not the only one.
Hundreds of foreign hunters, led by the mysterious Huntersof Legend—Sky's one-time heroes—have come to Exile to kill Sky, fearing what hecould become. With enemies on all sides and only each other to rely on, Sky andhis friends—Crystal, Andrew, Hands, and T-Bone—must fight for their lives and solvea four-hundred-year-old riddle, or watch Exile and everyone they've ever loved perish in the battle of the Legend Thief.
I think it needs a little more punch, especially at the end, but that's the story in a nutshell. What do you think?

Well, typos aside, I like it. And am really looking forward to reading it. I think it is fitting...though I suppose cutting it down a bit might add that punch you are looking for?

Wow. That does have a lot of typos. Not sure what happened. Goodreads reposts from my blog, and these typos don't appear on my blog. Weird. Thanks for the "cut it down" tip, Mifalda. You're probably right. It does stretch on a bit.
