Ruined by one god. Cursed by another. Murdered for being the monster they made her. That is the legend of Medusa.
This is the story of what happens next.
The gods have gone corporate. They've traded Mount Olympus for the board room, worship for market share, and devotees for subscribers. Now, they are inches away from Dominion, securing their power and influence over humanity forever--whether we want it or not. There's precious little time to stop them...and only one person who can.
A fugitive from the Underworld, Medusa has survived for centuries by staying off the grid and out of sight from both mortal and celestial eyes, with only the voices of her headsnakes for company. But one can't outrun their destiny forever. So, when Destiny appears with a divine directive, Medusa has no choice but to accept it and everything it entails--including seeking help from the Keeper of Lost Things (aka, the Minotaur) to track down an ancient weapon that will lay waste to the Olympic Pantheon.
But the gods have changed with the times as well. Hermes has the social influencing game locked down. Athena controls every part of civic life from public transit to police. And as for Poseidon...
Well, he hasn't changed a bit.
When the gods go bad, can a monster save us? Find out in this scathingly satirical (and slightly romantic) modern epic.
