Prada and Prey

In the glittering world of haute couture, beauty is currency—and Celeste Vane has learned to harvest it. A legendary 1990s runway icon, Celeste has vanished from public life, only to resurface impossibly young, impossibly perfect. As models begin disappearing during Fashion Week, stylist Liv Marchand uncovers a pattern too dark to ignore. Supermodel Sloane Arden—the world's most visible face—realizes she's been marked as prey. What begins as a forensic investigation spirals into a hunt across Paris, Cannes, and New York's most exclusive circles. Behind the velvet ropes and designer gowns lies an infrastructure of exploitation, where the industry's most powerful players protect its darkest secrets. Liv, Caleb, and Sloane must expose the truth before the Met Gala's final moment—when Celeste plans her ultimate transformation. In a world built on consuming beauty, some predators never age. Some hunts never end. Prada & Prey is a high-fashion gothic thriller about the price of perfection, the machinery of exploitation, and the women who refuse to disappear.
