WRITING OBSTACLE
Write the blurb to your first fantasy novel.
A blurb should intrigue the reader; introducing the main characters, and describing the plot, without giving too much away.

This sounds really cool. I think paying off a debt is a more original motivation for a character to have, especially in this fantastical setting.
I think you did give away too many details for the blurb, though. Aydean and Thonok being friends is something interesting and unexpected that I think should be saved for the story itself, and only be alluded to vaguely in the blurb to make people go, “Wait, is the author saying she’ll make friends with Thonok? How?”
It’s not an important detail, but I think you should give “the Durrett shop” a more interesting name. Even just changing “shop” to “shoppe” can accomplish that. Unless the shop’s name is deliberately plain to emphasize how normal Andean’s life was before things turned upside down. In which case it works perfect!
Overall, this is a very interesting idea, and I would love to see more of it. Keep it up!
