Nathan lives for the stage - or at least, the tiny one in the back of his local bar. Every Friday, he and his band play to a crowd that barely looks up. Fame feels further away than ever... until he walks in.
James is everything Nathan's not: confident, talented, and hiding something huge behind his rockstar disguise. When he offers to join the band and help them make it big, Nathan says yes - even if it means giving up control. Even if it means trusting someone who's clearly running from something.
With a new name, a new sound, and a dangerous new energy, the band skyrockets into the spotlight. But as secrets build and feelings get tangled, Nathan's about to learn: chasing fame is easy - surviving it is the real story.
ROCK STARZ is a story about music, identity, fame, friendship, and the kind of love that refuses to stay hidden.

The rebellious teenager who sings in a band and struggles with the woes of teen drama. They fight with their girlfriend and have a spat with their parents, and then it is all wrapped up by the end in a nice little bow. This isn't that kind of story. Clay Hudson is eighteen and is on the right course to go to the university his parents have chosen for him since he emerged from the womb. He has a girlfriend, Kaylee, and somewhere lost in that mix are his best friends: Fletcher who is ready to kick some ass with him, even if Clay is somewhat of a teacher's pet, and Chelsea, who is fighting her own battle, wanting to reclaim the friendship Clay's broken. Clay has pushed them from his life in favour of a night of wild highs and alcohol-fuelled adventures. The thing is, that life is a series of false thrills, and in the end, these adrenaline deceptions are distracting Clay from the things that truly matter in his life. Since he was little, Clay has dreamt of entertaining a crowd, singing his soul's notes to an audience that would love the pure bliss and magic that comes from music.
