They called her monster.
He called her friend.
But he still cut off her head.
Sending Medusa away to work in Athena's temple was supposed to keep her safe. To shield her from wandering eyes, because her mother feared such beauty could bring her death. Soon, she would learn, that fear was indeed a prophecy.
All it took was one glimpse for Poseidon to know he had to have her. One look. One fateful night. And life would never be the same again.
Athena, furious about what happens that night between her priestess and her uncle, cares not that Medusa was an unwilling participant and curses her so that no man will ever want her again.
But Alexios doesn't care that Medusa is a monster. No matter how many women he encounters, he's haunted by her memory. So he stands by her, a friend... until a hero requests he pledge his life to a son of Zeus. And in doing so, agrees to take a Gorgon's head..
Now Alexios will stop at nothing to save his friend, his love, his life. Even if that means defying the Gods.
For fans of Circe, Shadow & Bone, and Serpent & Dove, you'll fall head over heels with this twist on the classic myth.
