Silvana Romano is everything Eteri Tutberidze is not: warm, radiant, and deeply protective of her skaters' well-being. At twenty-nine, the Italian coach is making waves on the international circuit with her passionate approach to the sport. But beneath her sweet demeanor and sun-kissed smile lies a fierce competitor who refuses to back down from anyone-including the most feared woman in figure skating. Eteri Tutberidze rules the ice with an iron fist and a frozen heart. At forty-one, she has engineered champions, demanded perfection, and built an impenetrable wall around herself. She doesn't do distractions, she doesn't do compromise, and she absolutely does not do Silvana Romano. The catalyst? Diana Davis. Desperate to step out of her legendary mother's shadow and make a name for herself, Diana leaves Russia for Italy, placing her career entirely in Silvana's hands. While Diana finds a supportive haven in Italy-living with the equally sweet Anjelina Tutberidze-the arrangement forces Eteri and Silvana into the same small radius. Eteri views Silvana as an unwelcome disruption to her daughter's life and a threat to the sport's established order. Silvana views Eteri as a cold enigma desperately in need of a reality check. From tense glares across the barrier at the Grand Prix to heated arguments behind closed doors, their rivalry is explosive. But the ice is a fragile thing. And when the bitter frost of Eteri's world begins to clash with the relentless warmth of Silvana's presence, the friction threatens to melt the very ground they stand on. Because sometimes, the only way to survive the coldest season is by chasing winter.

Seraphina Voss is the miracle of Team USA. At nineteen, she is the "Crystalline Angel," the only woman in history to land a quintuple jump-a feat of physics that should be impossible. To the world, she is a masterpiece of grace and grit. To her coaches, she is a gold-medal machine. But every miracle has a price. Behind the blinding white of the rink, Seraphina is a girl made of secrets, held together by high-dose painkillers and a hunger that never ends. She is a survivor of a shadow the public can't see-a coach who traded her soul for her rotation. When she catches the cold, calculating eye of Eteri Tutberidze, the woman who builds champions out of glass, Seraphina finds herself drawn to a fire she knows will consume her. In the high-stakes world of elite skating, love is a distraction and heartbreak is a physical injury. Between the grueling training sessions and the silent screams of her body, Seraphina must decide: is she willing to burn herself alive just to stay on top of the podium? Or will Eteri be the one to finally watch her melt?
