My Book Blurb!!!

(If you would like to know more about my current WIP, please scroll onwards. XD)
Hi everyone!
Last night, Jaclynn and I stayed up and wrote our very first (or at least my very first) BOOK BLURBS! If you are confused as to what a book blurb is, it's basically what you read on the back of a book to learn what the book is about.;D
So...
Here's mine-
(Disclaimer, I am still not sure about some details with this blurb, so this is what I have for now. I'm sure it'll change somewhat as I go through editing and rewriting.:D)
 
A vengeful Sith is on the trail of the Jedi, and only a secret base will be able to save them.
A young Jedi, Jimja Tepom, has been given the mission of finding a secret base for the Jedi to hide from the powerful Sith, Darth Atticus. Eager to succeed in this important task, Jimja is infuriated when her ship is shot down to the planet Endor, but, pursued by bounty hunters and the Sith himself, there's not much she can do. On the planet, she meets a mechanic, Rusem Caana, who promises to help her to the base that Jimja has found.
 

There's just one problem.
Rusem believes that Jimja knows the location of her parents, who were presumed dead, and will lead her there after the mission is over. Desperate and running out of time, Jimja goes along with the agreement, even though she has no idea where Rusem's parents are.
As the journey becomes more complicated than Jimja had anticipated, she becomes close friends with Rusem, even taking her on as her Padawan. But while the lie is being stretched out, and Rusem is overwhelmed by guilt and fear, Jimja is more than desperate to keep Rusem on the Light Side, even as the Dark Side looms closer.

So, I hope you liked the blurb, I'm still not sure what the name of the book is yet, here are some ideas Jaclynn and I came up with. If you want, you could vote on which one you like best.:)
The Seclusion of the Jedi
The Overcoming Darkness
Drowning in Darkness
The Overthrown Jedi
 
My favorite is probably The Seclusion of the Jedi or Drowning in Darkness. But my REAL favorite is---
The Hidden Darkness
 
Which wouldn't necessarily work for Darth Atticus...sigh....But maybe I could hint toward the hidden darkness inside Rusem...Hm, possibilities...XD

Have you ever written a book blurb? If not, do you want to?:)
P.S. Jaclynn posted her book blurb on her blog, so check out the link I put in her name earlier and read it!;)
