A dazzling, feminist retelling of Greek myth from the internationally bestselling author of The Miniaturist, stunningly illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill.
Exiled to a far-flung island by the whims of the gods, Medusa has little company except the snakes that adorn her head instead of hair. But when a charmed, beautiful boy called Perseus arrives on the island, her lonely existence is disrupted with the force of a supernova, unleashing desire, love and betrayal.
Filled with glorious full-colour illustrations by award-winning Olivia Lomenech Gill, this astonishing retelling of Greek myth is perfect for readers of Circe and The Silence of the Girls. Illuminating the girl behind the legend, it brings alive Medusa for a new generation.

“She was a woman who’d done nothing wrong except exist.”
Even if you are not a Greek Mythology Fan like me, the chances are high that you will atleast have heard of the famous Medusa. In this Novel Burton tells the story of Medusa and Perseus from Medusas perspective. Giving her a very human side. Medusa is a young woman trapped in her body and isolated from the whole world. Her body was transformed into a monster by Athena. Her body feels like her own prison. She is extremely lonely and horrified by what she has become. Inedebly she is slowly losing herself.
