The primary purpose of the SimplyScripts Discussion Board is the discussion of unproduced screenplays. If you are a producer or director lookng for your next project, the works here are available for option, purchase or production only if you receive permission from the author.

AYZA was an outcast who found a family in the secret order of the Shidim, which fights for those without a voice against unjust rulers. When the Shidim's members start being hunted down, Ayza rises to lead a cadre of six in a desperate struggle for survival, uncovering the darkest secret of the order along the way: the ones hunting them are driven by vengeance because it was the Shidim who set in motion the massacre of their kin, the Disgraced - a people endowed with body-altering gifts.
An interesting concept, but too much info. Trim the fat and save the details for the script. Your logline is, essentially, the trailer for your screenplay. It should be short, punchy, and get the gist across without giving too much away.
The general rule of thumb is 25-35 words, and you want to indicate the inciting incident, the protag, the conflict, and the stakes.
So, going by what you've provided, it looks like the meat and potatoes is this bit:
Quoted Text
When the Shidim's members start being hunted down, Ayza rises to lead a cadre of six in a desperate struggle for survival, uncovering the darkest secret of the order along the way.
Inciting incident: Members of her group are targeted Protag: Ayza Conflict: the other group is more powerful (I'm assuming?) Stakes: survival
So you have all the necessities there, you just need to tighten it up a bit. Something along the lines of:
When members of her peaceful group are targeted, a female warrior must lead a cadre against a more powerful enemy, uncovering the darkest secret of the order along the way.
Something along those lines. I made some assumptions, such as her group being peaceful, and the predatory group being more powerful. But this is generally what you want to aim for.
