Prologue

Freshmen libero Mia Foster has only ever known one way to live: go hard, dive deeper, and never let the ball hit the floor. When she earns a surprise spot on the legendary Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team, she thinks she's reached the peak of her dreams- until the pressure, pain, and secrets start to pile up.

Navigating brutal practices, secret injuries, and the quiet weight of expectations, Mia builds an unexpected bond with her teammates, including Jules- an intense, talented outside hitter with secret of her own. As the team fights its way to the NCAA Final Four, friendships grow, crushes spark, and loyalty is tested. But with the championship on the line, Mia's next dive could cost her everything.
