Your novel, in 50 words... or thereabouts

I had to write a blurb of 50 words for Inkarna today for a bit of promo I'm doing. Well, it was an interesting little challenge, and this is what I came up with:
Death is not the end when your enemies can hunt you down throughout eternity. Elizabeth Rae Perry underestimated the dangers associated with immortality when she joined an ancient Egyptian reincarnation cult. And, as one of the magic-wielding Inkarna, she’s about to discover exactly how wrong things can go.

So, I know a bunch of you following my updates are authors yourselves. I'm opening my comments section for you to post your novel's title, a buy link and a 50-word summary. But your summary has to be 50 words or slightly under, okay?

Have fun, and spread this link.

    You did an awesome job, and thanks for the example. I'm trying to figure mine out still. I'll get it eventually...

      MAD GODS
      Re-imagine myth, gods.

      A man with a dark past lives life on the run: wanted dead or alive for abducting a child destined to enslave the world.

      Prophesies collide when the child must choose his own path or the fate set out in Revelation.

      Commitment
      Adam watched Mad Gods drag his father to Hell.

      The Grande Dame of the Black Nobility wants to raise him by Predatory Ethics and guide Adam to his dark birthright.

      He only wants to watch his shows in a padded room, snugly dressed in his own long sleeved, canvass jacket.
