So I posted the blurb on Realm Makers. Verdict was it didn’t have a clear enough plot! (People also wanted a little stronger sense of the world it was set in.)

I’ve buckled down and tried a rewrite. What do you think?

For a thousand years, the Songkiller bided his time. Now, he’s about to escape…

When a stranger hammers on Exton’s door, searching for heroes, Exton’s father, a former spy, demands he refuse. But memories of failing to save his mother haunt Exton. Setting out to redeem himself, Exton dooms his small band of friends to fight an enemy whose power holds sway over their very souls.

Their guide, a wizard of wavering faith, knows too well the bitter price of heroism and warns Exton to beware his zeal–until Exton’s contagious hope starts to cloud his better judgment.

All delusions evaporate when a secret enemy harries their every move, bringing out the heroes’ true motivations. Exton turns out a hero than when he started, his best friend whispers hauntingly of a Giant within, and his spiritual mentor hints God that has abandoned them.

Can Exton overcome the impossible?

Miles and miles away, a lonely artist waits to destroy the world. His song proceeds him, corrupting even zealous Exton. Its origin is of old.

Some call it the Songkiller’s Symphony.
