Looks like this weekend is all about completed books. I wrote TRUE SIGHT back about... seven or eight years ago. It was the first thing I'd written that I was really proud of. I had managed to make the words do basically what I was trying to make them do, and I had some interesting ideas in the book.
Of course my prose was still a bit of a disaster, and my plotting wasn't that sharp. I've learned a whole lot in seven (or eight?) years.
But there may still be some salvageable concepts in this novel, and maybe I'll reuse them sometime.
Pitch:
Kierr and Deisa have lived all their lives in the Athaani caverns.
They’ve never seen the sun, never faced the harsh snows on the mountains
overhead. But Kierr is determined to see the stars, so with Deisa’s grudging
help, she steals Fireweed, a military drug that allows the all-female corps to
survive on the surface.
When Deisa takes the drug, she goes into shock. Upon waking, she
finds she can see a second, illusory face on everyone she meets—a face that shows
their true self. But when Deisa is kidnapped by a visiting diplomat eager to
use her gift, Kierr follows after, braving the stark world and the blinding
sunlight to bring back her best friend.
