"Three voices. One spotlight. And a price higher than any stage can pay."
Fourteen-year-old Marleny Blackwood thought her hardest days were behind her, surviving the foster system, finding her father, and facing down the O'Dare girl. She thought those were the hardest battle she'd ever fight. She was wrong. -It's when a song her best friend and her write goes viral overnight.
Now Mari, Wolfie, Miah and Cassie are thrown into a storm of fame, scrutiny, and judgment. Suddenly, the girls are fighting more than internet trolls-they're up against fatphobia, racism, sexism, and the small-town spotlight, the girls must fight to stay grounded, sane, and seen.
This isn't a fairy-tale rise to fame. It's messy, raw, and real-a story of four girls clawing their way out of darkness with nothing but their bond, their pain, and the fire to be heard.
⚠️ Trigger Warnings: Contains corporal punishment/spanking of minors, bullying, racism, fatphobia, sexism, death, child loss, substance abuse, trauma, and messy family drama. Readers proceed with caution.

She thought she knew who she was.
She thought the life she lived was real.
But everything changed the day a stranger showed up at her doorstep-
claiming to be her brother.
Fourteen-year-old Nova's life in Willow Creek may have been small, but it was safe. Ordinary. Hers.
Now, Nova is being flown across the country to Ravenshore , to live with a family she never knew existed- brothers in uniform, a strict but patient father and the tightly-run world of the Tri Forces Academy.
Thrown into a life of military structure, unfamiliar faces, and rules she never asked for, Nova must navigate grief, trust and the terrifying possibility that home might not be a place-but a choice.
She doesn't want this life.
She doesn't trust these people.
And she definitely doesn't belong here... or does she ?
