My NaNoWriMo Novel is....

THE BIG REVEAL! Mwahahaha! I have no official cover for this novel yet, nor do I have even an okay pitch for it. But I promised that it would be revealed and, with less than two weeks to go before the big 11/1, I figured that it was about time. Rest assured, this novel will have a cover and a pitch at some point (but I cannot promise that it will be before November).

The title of my novel is...

The Price of a Gift

Kind of anticlimactic, I bet, but I love it. I've had this novel idea and this title in my head for almost a year now and I'm finally getting around to forming it into an actual idea. It's gone from a little sliver to a fully fledged, planned out, plotted out novel. I have my outline prepared on Scrivener and I'm slowly putting in different information about characters and settings. As I don't have a pitch, here's the basic plot of this novel:

Ariadne Slater (that's the main character) has worked two jobs for a while. At first, while simultaneously running her sick father's blacksmith shop, she was a call girl for the men wealthy enough to afford her. But after she got married, she went from sleeping with the cheating men to killing them for their wives. Her husband dies, though, and her father gets sicker. And then, Ariadne gets sicker. Blinding headaches and the only things that have helped were her husband, now dead and rotting, and the adrenaline rushes she got from first sleeping with men, and then killing them. With her headaches becoming worse, Ariadne must continue killing, One day, though, Ariadne is approached by three of the most powerful witches in the world who offer her a deal: her father's, brother's, and husband's souls along with a permanent cure for the headaches, in exchange for one more murder of their choice. And Ariadne finds out too late who she has to kill.

By the way, I suck at writing pitches. Either way, this is what my novel is about. I can't wait to really start writing it, and I especially can't wait to finish it. I think I'm really onto something with this novel...

Until then.
