Driven to find a cure for her brother's illness, Emma embarks on a research trip to the island of Crete, a land brimming with tales of the gods. There, she is drawn to the myth of Medusa, a beautiful priestess turned monster, cursed at the hands of a jealous Athena.
Her exploration leads to a dangerous encounter with a mysterious serpent in the forest, and after the snake's venom nearly kills her, Emma slips even deeper into the myth, her own fate intertwining with the woman at its heart.
She returns home, eyes set on attending Columbia University after graduation, but it isn't long before she notices changes to her body and mind... changes that are nothing short of serpentine.
As she pulses through Medusa's memory, she unlocks an unexpected truth that alters her world. She discovers the scope of her new abilities, including her blood's power to cure illness, but with a cost. When Emma is betrayed by those closest to her, she finds herself hunted by an enemy hungry for her blood. And she is not the only one in danger.
Emma must embrace what she has become to fight an enemy more ancient and evil than she imagined, for the chance to heal her brother and avenge the mythical source of her power.
