By George, I think I've got it!! If I don't, the weeping continues. Anyway, I spent the weekend reading video game and fantasy novel blurbs, and I came up with this. I'm sure it needs tweaking, but please, Dear Lord in Heaven, let it not suck quite so bad...
(I posted this under query reviews too, since different folk have been helping me in different spots).
Guardian and Nephilim are sworn enemy races. Ancient, immortal, and endowed with devastating powers, they have been locked in a standoff over control of the Earth for over a thousand years. Taraseya will put an end to that. Born of demons but chosen by God, she is both Nephilim and Guardian, and more powerful than any member of either race. Her allegiance will determine control of this world, and all others, for all time. There is only one problem…
Taraseya is dead.
Twenty years after Queen Riltara threw her daughter from the Amaranthine Cliffs, driven mad by her unwilling union with the Nephilim, something strange is happening. Guardian and Nephilim are drawn to Laryial once more. To their mutual shock, they find that control of the Earth now rests with a penniless orphan living with the last gargoyle tribe.
Anaiiya, unaware of her true nature, is too concerned with defending her adopted tribe against the constant attacks by a band of murderous zealots to worry about an ancient feud between the two warring powers. But neither side is prepared to let her go. Plans are made; the trap is set. She must choose now, or watch the last gargoyle tribe, the only family she has ever known, die.
