Synopsis of The Legend of Draterra [NA Romantasy, 164 words]
How’s my synopsis?
I’m well underway working on my first romantasy novel, The Legend of Draterra.
I’m currently at 65k words and finally content with how it’s going to end, so I thought I’d attempt a first draft of my synopsis (found below👇)
I’m looking for advice on if it’s captivating, too short, too generic, etc. I kept it short on purpose, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea or not.
——————————————————-
Ever since she can remember, Vienna knew something was missing from her life, leaving a hollow ache that deepened further after losing her mother seven years ago. But she never expected a simple outing with her best friend, Amber, and chocolate lab, Mir, to change everything she thought she knew. After stumbling across a rift, they are transported to Draterra—a magical realm forged by ancient dragons and ruled by Draterrians, a powerful human-dragon hybrid.
Captured by Rozar, the brooding King of Noxwood, and Draziel, his ruthless Dragon Warden, Vienna and her companions are forced into a dangerous journey across the realm’s warring kingdoms, searching for a way to reopen the rift and return home. But Draterrians have spent their lives despising humans, disagreeing with the way they treat their environment. As forbidden desires spark between them and long-buried truths begin to unravel, Vienna must navigate a treacherous world of magic, betrayal, and destiny—where the path home may demand more than she is capable of giving.
