Summarise Your Novel Draft Into A Back-Cover Blurb

You know your plot inside out, which is exactly why boiling it down to a blurb feels impossible: everything seems essential. This strips your synopsis down to protagonist, conflict and stakes, in the tense and length actual book covers use.

Read the novel synopsis I paste below and condense it into a back-cover blurb of no more than 120 words, the kind you would find on a printed paperback. Focus on the protagonist, the central conflict and what is at stake, and end on a note of tension rather than resolution. Avoid cliches like 'in a world where' or 'nothing will ever be the same'. Write in third person present tense, the standard convention for blurbs, regardless of what tense the novel itself is written in. Synopsis: {NOVEL_SYNOPSIS}
