Rewrite back cover copy for Sad Cypress, by Agatha Christie:

A passionate woman in love with a passionless man, Elinor loses her inheritance the same day her Roddy falls in love with the new heiress. She has every reason to hate her. And when Mary turns up dead, Elinor is the obvious suspect. Everyone gives up on her, except one man. With no evidence, he convinces the great detective Hercule Poirot. But how can they prove her innocence, when Elinor herself knows that she killed Mary? Will this case finally stump the legendary sleuth?

My back cover copy: My book is already locked for sale on Amazon, so I can’t change it anymore, but this is the edited copy I wrote for promo with my launch team:

Stones of power and one princess to save them all.

Escape to a Tolkienesque adventure where the wizard is a gray-haired Chinese woman with a short temper and swift swords. The conflicted hero is a princess, and the ring is a broken stone to be repaired by a cryptic prophecy.

The Far Stone Endurant is broken, and a prophecy foretells doom…

She should have been the chosen princess to deliver them. But Pergi can’t love Prince Teyrnon, and that's a deal-breaker.

Pergi has prepared all her life to become the ruler that her father wants. Without sons, he knows she could only retain the throne if she marries the neighboring prince, combining their kingdoms. Yet the same prophecy that calls for the reunification also warns that they must join by love. Her sister, Sadira, does love Teyrnon and takes Pergi’s place. But no one expects that Sadira would do a runner on her wedding day. What starts as an impromptu rescue of the wayward bride leads to a desperate struggle against a deadly foe.

Pergi’s epic journey begins in this first installment of the Far Stone Cycle!
