Everyone knows you'll burn in hell for all eternity if you exchange your soul to the devil for worldly goods...

That's why you're not selling your soul. 

You're wagering someone else's.

You are Cordelia Kennett, a graduate student in philosophy finishing up your final year with a thesis at ES University. You've been waiting eagerly for a grant to get the project going and this Fall semester it finally happens--$5000 to fund your thesis titled 'A Soul's Price: The Moral Dilemma of Selling Your Soul.'

You have two big campus events to buy up as many souls as you can: Homecoming and the Fall Farmer's Market. All with the help of your best friend, Shirley, of course. Will Cordelia get 500 people to sign their souls away for money? Or is the human heart not as fickle as you think?

But...buying the souls isn't the only thing Cordelia is doing for the project. No, owning souls is just step one. Step two is far more risky and...reckless. 

A Soul's Price is a philosophical thriller that explores the realms of belief, religious ideology, and moral conundrums to figure out what kind of world we live in...and what kind of god runs it.
