A child must tap into the
Spring Avatar’s memories of previous lives as she tries to save her mother and
baby brother….
A Winter Avatar with
newly woken magic faces enemies she didn’t know she had…
The Fall Avatar must
protect a kitten she’s bonded with from her disapproving family….
When the Summer Avatar
tries to get the attention of her true love, the wrong person responds to her call….
Before the Season Avatars of Challen came together, The Four
Gods and Goddesses of Challen sent Their Avatars to vastly different lives. The
challenges the four young women faced shaped them as they grew ready to claim
their destinies. Learn more about Gwen, Jenna, Ysabel and Kay as Young Season
Avatars. Includes the first chapter of Scattered
Seasons, Book Two in the Season Avatars series.
Any thoughts? I'm sure I'll need to revise the blurb a couple of times before I come up with a final version. Feel free to leave constructive criticism in the comments.

Not sure I'd include the last line about the chapter, at least in the blurb, but I think that's a really good one.
Thanks for the comment, Alex! I'm not sure yet if I actually will include the sample chapter, but if I do, I may mention it only in the Introduction to the collection.
I'm working on a cover right now for a short story collection.
It's tough in a short story collection because of the disparate story lines.
The best thing to do is to find the unifying theme that ties them together. In this instance: young girls on the verge of taking their place, and the Seasons.
I'd definitely start the blurb with a modified version of this part:
The challenges the four young women faced shaped them as they grew ready to claim their destinies. Learn more about Gwen, Jenna, Ysabel and Kay as Young Season Avatars.
Introduce the Seasons' world first before you delve into each story line. This would give readers a better base, imo.
"sent Their Avatars"
their Avatars
As a nitpicky thing I'd put the seasons in proper order: winter, spring, summer, fall or fall, winter, spring, summer, or however you want to do it.
Good points, Maria!
Pat, "Their" refers to the Four Gods and Goddesses of Challen, so that's why it's capitalized. Thanks for checking!
