The Favourites

Katarina Shaw was born with nothing a figure skater is supposed to need: no money, no famous name, no family to smooth the way. What she has is ferocious ambition and Heath Rocha, the lonely foster kid who becomes first her closest friend and then her partner on the ice. Together they turn hunger into artistry, rising from scraped-together practice time to the top of competitive ice dance on the strength of a chemistry audiences cannot look away from.

Their path runs straight through the Lin dynasty, ruled by icy former champion Sheila Lin and her privileged twins, Bella and Garrett. Rivalry, obsession, and love tangle tighter with every season, until a shocking moment at the Olympic Games ends Kat and Heath's partnership and turns them into a mystery the world cannot stop picking apart.

A decade later, an unauthorized documentary drags the whole story back into the light, promising the "real" truth about skating's most notorious pair. Told through Kat's fierce first-person account and the confessions of the people who watched it all, The Favourites is a propulsive, darkly romantic reimagining of Wuthering Heights on ice, about the kind of love that builds you and the kind that threatens to burn everything down.
