Rough Blurb for Zara Book II--The Order of the True

Okay, here it is...Remember, this is all subject to change and this is just a rough draft of a blurb. Nothing at all final. Oh yeah, and the title changed again. The Order of the True is the title I actually gave to the very first draft of this book.

BLURB:
When Caelan disappears on a mission to investigate a Humanist group, Zara sets out to find him. With no support from Asha or any of the others, Zara is on her own, except for the aid of one recently freed drone, Ehren. As Zara searches for Caelan, she finds herself making life or death choices, where the power is in her hands. One council member wants to use Zara’s abilities against the others, in exchange for Caelan’s life. But there is more to the Observer struggle on Earth than meets the eye, and Zara will have to choose between her Observer and human heritage, with ringing implications for thousands of innocent lives.

Her fight to save Caelan from bigoted humans, power-hungry Observers and desperate drones teaches Zara that while some leaders are born, others must be made…

This is definitely NOT the blurb for the back cover. More just a quick thumbnail sketch to give the publisher an idea of what the book is about. But you're right. I think a couple of those clauses are a little tricky. It could definitely be more concise. The trick, as always, is figuring what to leave out without losing something important : )
