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.

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?
