Cursed with Power *original* summary

This was the original summary I wrote in June or July.  I'm actually surprised it wasn't all that bad.  (The summary for New Life has literally changed four times already and I haven't even started on that book yet.)

Original:
At one time having power meant that you were in control...but soon having power could destroy you.
Celestria had been a Dark magician since she was fifteen years old.  She and her sister, Dyanna, had been taught from their aunt.  They had power, and it was a kind of power that everyone feared.  No one could question them unless they were ready to fight them.
Then everything changed...
Ten years after learning Dark magic, Celestria's life falls apart in ways she had never imagined.  Not even in her worst nightmares had she ever thought that everything could go so terribly wrong.  First, she lost Dyanna.  One day she just wasn't there anymore, and the last Celestria had heard was that Dyanna had been battling a magician.
Then, as if losing the only family she had left wasn't enough, the rest of Celestria's world fell apart.
"Haven't you heard?" Keina said. "There are only five Dark magicians left."

Current:

My thoughts on this...
I realized now Keina doesn't even have those exact lines anymore... I guess we all know what that means.  Tomorrow I need to work out a new summary for the book.  I feel as if I constantly change the summaries to my books, but if the summary isn't good a lot of people will just click off of the book and move on.

Good night bloggers.
