Author's Note

In a world obsessed with perfection , five trainees chase something messier: purpose .
Aliya is running. From grief , from doubt and the weight of being "other" in an industry that rarely makes room.

Thrust into the limelight, she expects pressure.
What she doesn't expect is connection or the quiet war it ignites inside her.

Fame is coming
But so is the fallout.
Will she be able to pay the price ?
