National bestselling author of
Daughters of Sparta
Claire Heywood returns with an imaginative and female-centered reinterpretation of the myth of Perseus.
Myth remembers Perseus as one of its greatest hero's.
A slayer of monsters. A rescuer of damsels.
But the women who knew him best have a different story to tell.
His mother, Danae.
His trophy, Medusa.
His wife, Andromeda.
As Perseus becomes obsessed with the promise of his own destiny, his heroic journey casts a shadow of violence and destruction across all three women's lives.
It takes strength to survive a legend.
