"I'm not trying to be a God, Ilia. I'm trying to still be able to stand properly when I'm thirty." Victoria Glass is the definition of Toronto excellence. As the second oldest child of the "Glass Dynasty"-a five-sister powerhouse whose achievements range from McGill psychology honors to a Paris 2024 Rhythmic Gymnastics Gold-Victoria has always understood that in a city this loud, the most powerful move is staying quiet until it counts. After a 2022 Olympic bronze medal tie that left her questioning the life of being a prodigy, Victoria built the rest of her career on her "Triple-30" rule. While the rest of the world chased the ghost of the Russian quad-era, Victoria mastered her Triple Axel as if it were an afterthought. She limits her quad practice to a strict fifteen minutes a day, spending the rest of her sessions on triples, edges and artistry that the post-2022 judging system craves. But in August, her world shifts. To fulfill a promise to her retiring coach, Nastya Ivanova, Victoria must live and train every other month with the "Quad God" himself. Living with Ilia Malinin is an exercise in patience. He's the risk-taker; she's the strategist. He constantly goads her, mocking her for being too cautious and "playing it safe" when she has a technical arsenal that could redefine the sport. She, in turn, views his training as a ticking time-bomb. When the lights of the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympic Winter Games prove too bright for the "Quad God," leaving him in a shattering 8th place, it's Victoria-the girl who chose longevity over ego-who has to catch him. Between her triumphs and his heartbreak, they find a connection that rotations could never provide. *Please keep in mind that I myself am not a figure skater! I also do not know how the media works for Team USA or Team Canada, I only know how scoring and competition work because that is all I've ever watched!

"Victoria Rowe is a human metronome. Reliable. Consistent. And utterly forgettable." To the skating world, eighteen-year-old Victoria Rowe is the girl who never falls-and the girl who never wins. After a devastating twelfth-place finish at the 2025 World Championships, the critics are louder than ever: Victoria is "safe." She's a "double-jump specialist." She's a relic of an era where playing it cool was enough. But Victoria has a secret. In the quiet, midnight hours of frozen rinks, she isn't the ballerina Arthur, her controlling coach, wants her to be. She is a powerhouse landing quads that aren't supposed to be possible. Fed up with the labels and the limitations, Victoria makes a choice that shocks the skating world: she leaves the only coach she's ever known for the high-velocity camp of Tatiana Malinina. Training alongside the "Quad God" himself, Ilia Malinin, Victoria must do more than just find her technical edge-she has to find her voice. From the Grand Prix circuit to the bright lights of the 2026 Olympics, Victoria is no longer playing for a clean sheet. She's playing for a revolution. Because the only thing more dangerous than a girl who can jump is a girl who has nothing left to lose. number 1 in #figureskating on 02/09/26 number 1 in #skating on 02/10/26 number 1 in #ilia on 02/10/26 number 1 in #milan on 02/10/26 number 1 in #teamusa on 02/20/26 number 1 in #winterolympics on 02/22/26 *Please keep in mind that I myself am not a figure skater!

This book may NOT be reproduced, reposted, copied, or translated in any way unless you receive permission directly from the author. Camille Rousseau is used to the pressure. As the daughter of a legendary figure skater, she's spent her entire life striving to be the best-pushing herself harder, faster, and farther. But when she's forced to share the ice with Aurora Bennett, Camille's world is turned upside down. Aurora doesn't just glide on the ice; she owns it. Confident, competitive, and effortlessly talented, Aurora is everything Camille hates-everything Camille fears she'll never be. The two are rivals, both driven by the weight of family expectations and their burning need to be the top athlete. But when fate and the rink force them into close quarters, the animosity between them begins to shift into something neither of them can control. Trapped together, their forced proximity ignites a firestorm of tension. Camille can't decide if she wants to throttle Aurora or kiss her. Aurora's confidence rattles Camille's composure, and every touch on the ice sends sparks flying. But as they push each other to new limits, they find that their rivalry is just the beginning of something much deeper, more complicated-and far more dangerous to their hearts.
