The Fall and Rise of Lyra

Lyra had everything—or so the world thought. As Rouge Visage, the chart-topping pop star with a dazzling smile and electrifying stage presence, she captivated millions. But behind the glamorous facade was a woman slowly unraveling, trapped in a gilded cage built by a manipulative manager and the relentless demands of fame.

When a public breakdown shatters her career and nearly takes her life, Lyra is forced to confront the harsh truths she’s spent years burying. The intoxicating highs of stardom were masking a deep well of pain: a fractured identity, suffocating expectations, and the loss of the woman she once was.

With her oldest friend Jazzy by her side and a world eager to watch her fall, Lyra begins the daunting journey of reclaiming her life. Stripped of the persona that defined her, she must face the shadows of her past, the scars of her choices, and a music industry hungry for her demise. But in the ashes of her old life, Lyra discovers something she thought was lost forever—her own voice.

The Fall and Rise of Lyra is a raw and unflinching exploration of fame, identity, and resilience. With lyrical prose and unforgettable characters, Céline Cheek delivers a story about the strength it takes to rebuild when everything falls apart—and the courage to create a life worth living on your own terms.
