So I figured I'd post the "dust jacket" plot summary, since I was silly enough not to include it anywhere online yet. (Silly writer. How are you supposed to accumulate readers?) Of course, the wording of the final synopsis will be up to the publisher and whatever copyrighter they decide to use. Until that dream becomes a reality, this will simply have to do. Bon appetit!
Handwriting has been outlawed. Nomads are not permitted to leave the city. Citizens walk the streets in fear, if at all. And the gate guards, once sworn to protect, strike fear into the hearts of passersby. When inmate Xearo Ta'Lorence becomes the first to escape the city of Rhevise, he and childhood friend Aeria aim to get as far from the province as possible. But when the fugitives discover that a raging covert war threatens to extinguish mankind, they realize their freedom has a steep price.
Exiled with limited resources, they must assemble their own team and pick up where the Rhevisean military left off. Only the enemy seems invulnerable to every traditional method of attack. Soon they realize humanity's last hope lies in Avatar, a mysterious wandering forest hermit with unusual druidic powers. From him they can learn to utilize mana, a once-abundant substance capable of channeling powerful magic. The only problem is that Avatar is not convinced humanity deserves to be saved at all.

You definitely know how to hook an audience. While reading this I was thinking of your voice saying the words over a movie preview... it was cool. :) Very good I must say too!
