The Famoux cover

In The Famoux, a teenager's obsession with celebrity leads her into a perilous world where fame can be deadly and survival is uncertain.

In a world ravaged by environmental disaster, the nation of Delicatum has risen from the ashes. Central to its culture are the Famoux, glamorous stars of the reality TV sensation known as the Fishbowl. These celebrities captivate the public, offering a constant escape from the harsh realities of life in a recovering society. Their allure is undeniable, providing a distraction in a time when hope is scarce and survival is paramount.

Sixteen-year-old Emilee Laurence finds solace in the lives of the Famoux. Struggling with her own challenges at home and facing relentless bullying at school, she becomes increasingly enamored with the world of fame. When she is unexpectedly offered a chance to join the ranks of the Famoux, Emilee seizes the opportunity, leaving her past behind. However, she soon discovers that the glitz and glamour come with severe consequences, as the stakes are much higher than she ever imagined.

As Emilee navigates her new life, she uncovers a sinister reality lurking beneath the surface of fame. An anonymous stalker is manipulating the Famoux, turning their seemingly perfect existence into a dangerous game where popularity could mean life or death. The Famoux explores the dark side of celebrity culture, questioning the price of fame and the lengths one will go to achieve it.
