I’ve been workshopping my synopsis with a dedicated Facebook group and making some improvements. Below is what I gave them, with some small tweaks based on the feedback I got. The second synopsis is a complete retake based on the feedback I got. I’d love your opinion.

A thousand years past, the Songkiller sang chaos into the world. Now, he’s breaking his bonds…

Heroes fail. It’s part of their brokenness. But Exton, a young adventurer, forges a daring plan that could end the greatest battle heroes ever fought. He resolves not just to contain evil, but to strike its near-invincible source.

Ventar, a wizard of shaky faith, agrees to guide Exton and his friends on their quest, but warns God may have abandoned them and that the cost of heroism can be bitter.

With a lonely artist ushering in the world’s end, Exton will dare anything. But it’s hard to fight an enemy whose song holds sway over your very soul.

The song sages call the Songkiller’s symphony.

After a thousand years, the immortal who breathed chaos into the world is escaping…

A call for heroes reaches Exton’s front door, past guilts driving him to find redemption.

Setting out with a band of friends, Exton dares an enemy who holds power over their very souls.

But their guide, a wizard of wavering faith, warns that the price of heroism is hardly worth paying. Worse, God may have abandoned them. Assassins haunt their every move and even allies block Exton from victory.

With his own motivations not entirely pure, Exton faces an impossible task. Not just defeating the lonely artist ushering in the world’s end, but overcoming the enemy’s ancient song. A song that turns the world against itself and corrupts heroes…

Some call it, the Songkiller’s symphony.
