Medusa is perhaps one of the most intriguing characters in all of Mythology. However, she is also the most mysterious. Everyone is aware of her existence, the serpent-headed monster of old, whose very gaze turns all to stone. But, how did she come to that? How did a being of such power meet her end, decapitated by a mortal? Most importantly, what truly makes one a monster? Born to ancient sea gods and, the only mortal of her kind, Medusa was taken from her home at birth. Raised on earth, by a consort of the Gods, she was a product of both worlds yet, belonged to neither. Her beauty became legend in her village and, once her cousins noticed the beautiful young woman she'd become, they invited her to Mount Olympus.
Faced with the prospect of attending Panathenia, the birthday celebration of the goddess she worships and admires, Medusa could hardly refuse. At sixteen, she is thrust into the world of Olympus, where decadence abounds, and every desire is fulfilled. Surrounded by those with unlimited power, she felt that anything was possible.
Because of her beauty and spirit, she is noticed by more than one God, quickly becomes a favorite and, inevitably, a prize to be won. In the home of the Gods, Medusa finds acceptance, friendships, and love. She also finds herself in the crossfire of rivalries dating back centuries.
Fall into a story of love, jealousy and betrayal. Immerse yourself into the world of the Immortals. Follow the journey of one woman's life, where every choice can be the difference between life and death. Experience the anger of the Gods, from which she never survives... or does she?
