At only 14 years old, Brianna Nolan’s best years as a figure skater seem to be behind her. Her meteoric rise through the ranks is suddenly halted by puberty, and while she struggles to regain her jumps, her newfound fear of falling further stymies her progress.

When her father gives her the ring of a former Russian Champion, Svetlana Terasova, Brianna starts seeing flashes of Svetlana’s life in her dreams, and then later, on the ice. Brianna feels fearless and exhilarated by what she feels when she wears the ring, but the ring’s powers are unknown, and she soon suffers a terrible fall.

In her downtime, Brianna enjoys a social life for the first time. A school dance, new friends and new activities become hard to leave when it’s time to get back on the ice, but her new coach insists she drop everything to focus on skating if she truly wants to become a champion. The sacrifices become almost too much to bear, until she discovers they pale in comparison to the sacrifices Svetlana made long ago, and the events surrounding her mysterious exit from the world stage.
