Shella City novel series and franchise reimagines fashion, luxury, and social influence in an urban fantasy that explores the power dynamics within a high-stakes modeling world.
Inside Shella City, fashion is the force that shapes identity and status. This world blends the luxurious, high-stakes modeling industry with elements of personal image. With Randal, the visionary CEO of Domainia Modeling and Ads Agency, whose “Image Theories” have rebranded Shella as the “City of Beauty and Elegance.” and made it the most powerful city on Earth. But behind the polished veneer of glamour, Shella conceals a battle for control over its future.
Shella City’s Vision: Where Aesthetics Meet Innovation
Models are the most idealized and respected people inside Shella. (In fact, the governor of Shella City is a former model herself.) Modeling is seen as more than a profession, it’s the tool that can influence and shape the world. Which can also be weaponized.
People of Shella were empowered by the freedom that came with a thriving economy and a high-fashion culture that granted them status. But, as the city evolved, cracks in the facade began to appear. The city’s elite, led by Randal, used the art of image crafting to manipulate and control its inhabitants. Randal is a CEO, a model and a coach who taught his followers how to be influential and build their own images. He has the “Elegance Codes” as a powerful communication skill that dives into inner-minds. Akin to magic systems, it has its own classes with the Divas–the top tier models of Domainia, owning the strongest types.
However, not everyone is content with this vision. Megan, Randal’s lover, finds herself struggling to meet his expectations, while the models at Domainia are caught in an endless cycle of competition and self-doubt. Meanwhile, a group of disenfranchised individuals, hidden within the city’s districts, begins to question the system and consider alternatives to the status quo. Mila is driven by a sense of social justice and Falon is driven by past failures, having heard rumors about Domainia’s involvement in human trafficking, money laundering and host of secret illicit parties for the elites and manipulating guests and models under drugs.
A City Divided: Beauty and Struggle Intertwined
Shella City tells the story of a divided society. The rebels—led by Mila and Falon—challenge the city’s established order, seeking to expose the exploitation hidden in the shadows. As the story unfolds, the lines between right and wrong blur, forcing People of Shella to confront difficult truths. Is Shella truly a utopia, or does its outward perfection mask a darker reality?
The key conflict lies in the question of who defines the true “Image” of Shella. Is it Randal and his agency, Domainia, who shape the city’s image or the rebels who seek to reclaim freedom and autonomy for the people?
