Fame is a game of chess with each complicated move roped into a chain reaction, nudging a dreamer down the steps further away from a name in lights to place an enhanced version to be celebrated on the throne. It's a game that has a glass wall that many shy away from, the brave admitting defeat. When Blair Nazari is offered the seemingly flawless key into a world she's only seen from the comfort of a TV screen, she jumps at the chance to welcome the cameras that reveal themselves to cause nothing but havoc, tears and a lot of betrayal in between. After all, nothing ever comes easy once the dotted lines are signed. cover by : @scrappily
