A fiction novel based on an ancient Greek myth. A fresh take on the story of Medusa, a woman who was turned into a monster. Medusa, the youngest of the Gorgon sisters, was the only mortal in the family of the gods. Unlike her family, she grew up, changed, and could be weak and vulnerable. The fact that her life would sooner or later be cut short caused her anxiety that her sisters did not understand. But one day Poseidon, the god of the sea, attacked Medusa in the temple of Athena. The goddess decided to punish the girl for desecrating her shrine by turning her into a monster. From then on, instead of hair, Medusa's head was covered with snakes, and her eyes turned all living things to stone. In an instant, she destroyed those she loved, and because of this, she was doomed to a lonely life. Until one day, the hero Perseus embarked on a fateful quest to retrieve her head... Natalie Gaines' novel retells the classic myth in a completely new way, telling the story of a woman who was unjustly punished and discovering new meanings and insights in the ancient story.
