Start by summarizing each page - get one sentence out of each. Then edit all these sentences into a cohesive narrative. Read through it, fill blanks, omit repetitions. Rinse and repeat 2x. At this point, you should have a clear idea what your story is mainly about. Throw everything away. And write the short description that would entice a reader to buy the story.

EDIT:
A good place to start is to find your story in the 36 dramatic situations, use that as a skeleton and fill it up with particular details from your story.

BTW: I don't think anyone's going to read your 93 pages story to summarize it for you. Just saying.
