Can't think of anything clever.
Alright, since you guys understand basically what my prologue entails, does this sound good for a summary. (Like a 'back cover of the book' kinda thing to place before the prologue)
"Torvald, a Nord huntsman, and ex-Legion soldier, left fatherless in the world, roams the tundra of Skyrim hunting for his food and struggling to make enough Septims to keep a roof over his head. Until one day, his friend, Bjorn comes to him with a problem. He's gotten in trouble with the widespread, lethal, Skooma-dealing Khajiit Caravans, and Torvald decides to help him out of his predicament. He soon realizes how lucrative the trade of Skooma is, and decides to go into business with his friend. After five years of building it from the ground up, Torvald has lead the Blackblood Marauders to become one of the most notorious Skooma dealing organizations in all of Tamriel; Until one day, an Imperial Legion officer makes it a personal vendetta to take down Torvald and the Marauders and puts him, his way of life, and his new family in danger."
I'm not sure if it's too repetitive or if it leads too far into the plot for a summary, but lemme know what you guys think. If that sounds good and would entice a potential reader, if I should give less of a summary, or what.
FYI: The prologue takes place five years before the rest of the novel, so I'm not sure if I should go as far in as I did in the summary, or if it just makes the prologue useless to read.
