The myth of Medusa may be well known, but that story is merely a carefully crafted lie.
Born beautiful and mortal, Gorgo doesn't fit in to her family of immortal monsters and ancient gods. Isolated from the world on the island of Sarpedon, Gorgo grows up longing for something more. When a chance encounter introduces her to the goddess Athena, she leaves the only home she's known and steps into a vast world of gods and heroes.
As Gorgo builds a new life among Athena and her siblings, she discovers the attention of the gods can be as damning as it is liberating. After a powerful Olympian assaults Gorgo, Athena calls upon unruly magic, and Gorgo's life is forever changed.
With her relationships shattered and her hair transformed into snakes, Gorgo seeks refuge on Sarpedon. Mortals quickly arrive to take her as their conquest or their trophy, but Gorgo discovers that the magic changed more than her hair when her assailants transmogrify into statues.
Destined to behead the creature who turns men to stone, a young demigod embarks on a journey to Sarpedon, and in order to survive their encounter, Gorgo is forced to decide if she truly is the monster she is fated to become.
