About this audiobook
Heaven's Gate Institute sits above the clouds in the Swiss Alps — the most exclusive training school in the world for young athletes. Only the best get in. Iris, a Peruvian sprinter with a brutal last hundred meters; Toby, an English high jumper desperate to be enough; Maya, a weightlifter from New Zealand carrying her whole family's hopes; and Dániel, a Deaf Hungarian fencer who sees everything first.
At the top of the Ladder, students earn a black-and-gold ring and the Institute's famous HALO lenses. Everything gets brighter, lighter, easier. Then the times start slipping. Injuries stop hurting. Students start disappearing.
Their beloved Headmaster says the problem is them. The four of them are about to find out what Heaven's Gate really costs — and how high they'll have to climb to bring it down.
