Athena's Child - Hannah Lynn

To be young, beautiful, and innocent is a curse. Knowing this, Medusa, the loveliest of her sisters, seeks sanctuary in the goddess Athena's temple. But she soon realizes that a woman among the gods can never be safe - especially once she's caught the lecherous eye of the mighty Poseidon. A victim of his desires, Medusa is blamed for them and, to avoid the unjust wrath of Athena, flees.

Perseus, naïve and desperate to prove himself, embarks on an impossible quest to kill this woman-turned monster. But he and Medusa are pawns, their fates irrevocably interwoven by the hands of spiteful gods... And Medusa will do all she can to avoid becoming the monster they say she is.

Medusa's truth has long been lost. History tells of conquering heroes, of men with hearts of gold. Now it is time to hear the story of how history treats women who stand their ground. It is time to remember Medusa.
