I wrote a little blurb about the magic of writing book descriptions when I posted the description for Deceit. If you missed it, you can check it out right here. But if that's TLDR for you, the gist is that it's incredibly hard for an author to sum up his entire book in the recommended 300 words or less. You have to communicate just the right amount of information to make things intriguing, but not too much where you give things away. And let's just say that as a writer of scifi fantasy books, keeping things short is somewhat challenging.
Thank the stars for marketing pros and their uncanny knack for seeing the forest for the trees. This is what they came up with for Decline (The D-Evolution: Book Two). I hope you like it as much as I do!
"Technology has changed the bloody landscape of battle, but all he knows is the blade. Can he claim his warrior’s birthright and still survive?
Tyrobus Daelekon would cross the galaxy to be a legendary warrior like his father. So when the grizzled general commits he and his twin brother to a deadly tournament with alien enemies, he’s thrilled to finally seize his destiny. But he fears his sibling’s willingness to break their ancient blood oath could shame their entire family and doom them to ritual execution.
Readying his blade for battle, Tyrobus is shocked when an outlaw accuses his brother of theft and murder…and vanishes into thin air. And even if they manage to escape punishment, he has no idea how his sword skills alone can match foreign soldiers with advanced weapons and killer magic.
Can Tyrobus prove the power of the old ways before his bloodline dies in disgrace?
Decline is the edgy second book in The D-Evolution space opera fantasy series. If you like powerful legacies, richly detailed worlds, and genre-bending action, then you’ll love Sean Allen’s potent tale.
Buy Decline to unsheathe the future today!"
