Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller For fans of The Witch's Heart, Stone Blind, and A Thousand Ships will love this feminist retelling of the myth of Perseus centering three sidelined voices: Danae, Andromeda, and Medusa. These three different perspectives paint a different view of the supposed hero, shedding new light on this story. National bestselling author of Daughters of Sparta Claire Heywood returns with an imaginative and female-centered reinterpretation of the myth of Perseus. Myth remembers Perseus as one of its greatest hero's. A slayer of monsters. A rescuer of damsels. But the women who knew him best have a different story to tell. His mother, Danae. His trophy, Medusa. His wife, Andromeda. As Perseus becomes obsessed with the promise of his own destiny, his heroic journey casts a shadow of violence and destruction across all three women's lives. It takes strength to survive a legend.
