Banished due to a prophecy that her unborn child will kill her father, the king of Argos, Danae finds herself alone and pregnant in a remote fishing village. Transitioning from a sheltered princess to a self-sufficient mother for her son Perseus proves to be a monumental challenge. Medusa, a member of the secretive Gorgons living in the woods, has shunned the outside world until she discovers an injured Perseus in the forest. Meanwhile, Andromeda faces a devastating sandstorm threatening her nomadic tribe's existence, knowing a sacrifice is necessary to appease the gods. When Perseus intervenes, her life takes an unexpected turn. As Perseus becomes fixated on his destiny, his quest brings violence and turmoil to the lives of these three women. Despite his attempts to silence them, Danae, Medusa, and Andromeda may find that reclaiming their voices is essential for a brighter future. Nationally bestselling author Claire Heywood presents a fresh, female-centered retelling of the Perseus myth, offering perspectives from those traditionally overlooked—his mother, his trophy, and his wife—revealing that the man often hailed as a hero may not be one at all.
