Bookroo's summary

Aliyah thrives on karate, driven by her rivalry with Suma. But when Suma's sister, Zoya, joins the dojo, Aliyah sees a reflection of her own fiery spirit. Tasked with training Zoya, Aliyah must confront her own competitive nature. As they spar and grow, Aliyah learns that true strength lies beyond victory. Can she guide Zoya and herself to a new understanding of what it means to win?

From the publisher

Karate is the most important thing in Aliyah’s life. It allows her to fight - and she’s good at that. It also makes her feel like a winner. Nothing is more important to Aliyah than taking down an opponent, especially if it’s her main rival, Suma. Things soon change with the arrival of a new student, Zoya, who also happens to be Suma’s little sister. Aliyah sees something familiar in Zoya - an anger and aggression that reminds Aliyah of herself. Upon the request of Suma, and with the approval of the sensei, Aliyah agrees to train Zoya. Through their training, she helps Zoya control her anger but also manages to learn a valuable lesson of her own - winning isn’t everything.
