Cosette never fully realised what she had signed herself up for,
Never knew that the talent show she was entered in was more than an innocent competition,
How could she have known? How could anyone have guessed?
When eighteen year old Cosette Lefevre enters a submission for a new international reality T.V. talent show, she thinks nothing of it. A way to win some much needed money for her college fund - sure. A great way to meet new people - guess so.
But when the show begins and Cosette is part of the 16 finalists, things take a turn for the worse.
This isn't your average talent show, and the contestants quickly discover that everything is not what it seems.
Trapped in a giant alternate world, the contestants are given only one tool to survive.
Their talent.
Cosette's talent is painting.
But how on earth can a single paintbrush and a tube of acrylic help her survive?
She can't even begin to wonder.
But since everything in this show is not what it seems...
...Neither is her talent.

Kendra: Villainess by Fate
Kendra had always lived in the background - an orphan with paint-stained fingers and quiet dreams of gallery walls.

But this is no longer that Kendra. With her old mind intact, a new goal in sight, and zero interest in repeating the original Kendra's idiotic mistakes, she swears one thing: she will not chase after any man - especially not Chris. Instead, she plans to coast through this elite world, stay out of the drama, and secretly build an underground art empire. Too bad Chris won't leave her alone.Even worse, Rylie, Ella's fiercely loyal childhood friend, seems to be falling for the very villainess he's supposed to hate. In this rewritten story, who really gets the happy ending?And what happens when the "villain" starts stealing the spotlight - and hearts?
