Logline Blogfest

Instructions from Steena (whose blog name alone, Chocolate Reality,
is enough to send you over there to see what this blogfest is all about!)

On your blog site, post your logline for your novel.
One or two sentences.

I wasn't going to take part in this blogfest, but after reading several of the other entries I couldn't resist giving it a go! It will be a good challenge, I told myself. Good practise.
Well.
A challenge it most certainly was! Jeepers, I didn't know it was going to be so difficult!

Update: I have been through SOOO many potential versions of this now!
And, yes, the spelling of deemon with two e's is intentional.

Genre: YA Fantasy

*Most recently revised version*

After an unfortunate run-in with a deemon in a forest, sixteen-year-old Serra makes a shocking discovery: Her every memory is a lie. Her search for the truth soon becomes a battle for her life, as she realises she possesses knowledge that could save humans from the Darkness--or destroy them all.

I'm pretty sure that could do with a whole lot of tweaking, so if you have any ideas on how to make it better, PLEASE feel free to leave suggestions in the comments below! And thank you so much, Steena, for giving me a reason to make my first attempt at a logline.

(That's the best part about this blogfest - the entries are so short you can read them in no time at all!)
