Book 4 of the Monsters, Maybe. Series
History is written by the victors-but the monsters are finally ready to write their own endings.
After surviving dangerous escapes, floating cities, and the iron-fisted wrath of legendary kings, the oddest found family in ancient Greece has done the impossible: they survived. But in the quiet aftermath, surviving is only the beginning.
In this reflective and richly comedic final chapter of the Monsters, Maybe. series, the legendary figures of mythology are looking back. Medusa-now older, wiser, and surrounded by hundreds of hand-crafted macramé owls-is ready to set the record straight. Alongside her are the same mismatched, deeply human friends who redefined what it means to be a monster: the minotaur who wanted to be an actor, a cyclops trying to find his place, and the children who realized that history's supposed villains were the only ones worth trusting.
Told with Wilson H. Bard's trademark dry wit, Memoirs of Arrogance and Excellence is a poignant, humorous, and deeply satisfying look at friendship, legacy, and what happens fifty years after the grand adventure ends.
