I'm going to tell you a story, my story, that of a young girl who was born a long time ago now and who was swept away by events towards a life far from what she had hoped for. Here are her memories, here is my life...
Year 3120
A world but different...
A land weakened by repeated natural disasters...
And in the middle of this disaster, there is me, Manéa, descendant of a people who had to learn to survive in the face of a reality made of hostility and aggressiveness.
To recreate a new life, my ancestors had to build sites on the water, the only places that could accommodate them, at least at the beginning. This is where I live, or rather where I work, in FOSSEA, while my family lives very far from here, in a country village.
Obviously, the rules are complicated for us, the young. The power committee forces us to perform difficult tasks throughout the day for the good of our people. In exchange, we will have the right to freedom when we reach the age of 26. Fortunately, to support me, I have my friends, and then we learn to be content with little here!
Unfortunately, an accident will occur and call into question my entire existence. From that moment on, I had to make decisions that will change everything for me. I will have to abandon what I had to go and discover a part of the planet that was unknown to me.

Fame can be deadly.
Out of the wreckage of environmental collapse, the country of Delicatum emerged. Its most popular celebrities are the Famoux, uniquely beautiful stars of a reality TV show called the Fishbowl. In a world still recovering from catastrophe, they provide a 24/7 distraction.
Sixteen-year-old Emilee Laurence is obsessed with the Famoux-they provide a refuge from her troubled home life and the bullies at school. When she receives an unimaginable offer to become a member herself, she takes it. Leaving behind everything she's ever known, Emilee enters a world of high glamour and even higher stakes.
Because behind their perfect image lies an ugly truth-an anonymous stalker has been dictating the Famoux's every move, and being popular really is a matter of life or death.
