Lumière: She danced in The shadows. world was about to find her.

Paris, 2026. Amara Vale is twenty-three, gifted, and dancing wherever the city will have her - until Marcus Devereux offers her everything she's ever wanted.A residency. A patron. A door into the life she's dreamed of.She doesn't see the trap until it closes.Isolated at his estate in the South of France, watched and slowly stripped of everything she built, Amara must find the one thing he can't take from her - the stillness at her own centre. And with the help of the women who've been there too, she begins to plan her way back into the light.But return is its own kind of courage. And when a Hollywood producer who once watched her dance offers her the role of a lifetime, Amara faces the hardest question of all: can a woman who survived being unmade learn to be seen again - on her own terms?Cinematic, sweeping and deeply emotional, Lumière is Sophia Melrose's stunning debut - a story of sisterhood, courage and unexpected love, set against the golden light of Paris, the energy of London and the glamour of Hollywood.For every woman who was finally seen.
