    Summary

    When Shane Hollander is publicly outed during a routine press conference, the truth is ripped from him before he’s ready. The fallout is immediate, brutal, and impossible to ignore. As the world watches, judges, and demands answers, Shane and his teammate (and partner) Ilya Rosanov are forced to navigate violence, visibility, and a sport that doesn’t always know how to protect its own.

    Through targeted hits, swallowed whistles, media pressure, and one very public fight, Shane learns the difference between what the world takes and what he can claim back; on the ice, in the locker room, and in the quiet moments where love becomes a shield instead of a weakness.

    A story about survival, solidarity, and choosing when to answer.
