In Which Carolyn Actually Wrestles a Synopsis To the Ground

Could it be true? Here's the newest opening paragraph:

Essa Darien is an Elven language Scholar forced to leave her woman-only cloister (and the only home she's known) when she's assigned to interpret for an elf better known to humans as Aric Bloodhand. The decidedly unwordly Essa lands in the middle of a deadly controversy between elves and humans that pits her Scholar's oath to truth against her allegiance to her King. As she struggles to deal with the suspicious and difficult Bloodhand, she learns that how and why she was cloistered lies at the center of a plot to put the King's cousin on the throne.


Does it rock, or does it suck? I have to go pick up my son from Aikido. Probably when I get back I'll realize it sucks, but I'm trying to bask in the initial euphoria.

All names subject to change. All the words, too.

I wonder if I can just turn in a one paragraph synopsis. I think I have one more issue with the synopsis to fix and then I can whip the chapters into shape. Thanks for the comments, by the way.

I like it too! And wish it were longer, it left me wanting to know more :o)
