_______________
'A beautiful and profound retelling' - Madeline Miller, author of The Song of Achilles and Circe
'Gives the serpent-headed monster of myth a powerful and haunting humanity' - Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne and Elektra
_______________
If I told you that I'd killed a man with a glance, would you wait to hear the rest? The why, the how, what happened next?
Monster. Man-hater. Murderess. Forget everything you've been told about Medusa.
Internationally bestselling author Jessie Burton flips the script in this astonishing retelling of Greek myth, illuminating the woman behind the legend at last.
Exiled to a far-flung island after being abused by powerful Gods, Medusa has little company other than the snakes that adorn her head instead of hair. Haunted by the memories of a life before everything was stolen from her, she has no choice but to make peace with her present: Medusa the Monster. But when the charmed and beautiful Perseus arrives on the island, her lonely existence is blown apart, unleashing desire, love... and betrayal.
Adapted from the hardback illustrated by Olivia Lomenech-Gill, this paperback edition is perfect for readers who loved Circe and Ariadne, as Medusa comes alive in a new version of the story that history set in stone long ago.

“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.
