Crown of Serpents

Revenge is a dish best served cold—and to the salivating mouths of a gorgon's snakes.

At least, that was the assumption. When the slain gorgon Medusa is restored and brought back to life, all she can think about is how she can destroy the now legendary hero who killed her, Perseus, Prince of Argon. Her plan is simple enough. With an attractive disguise and an emotional backstory, she'll lure the champion to the murky waters of her own backyard, where she and her sisters can devour him whole.

But when Medusa herself begins to fall prey to the prince's charm, her mission is put at risk. Her disguise, intended to be temporary, begins to fray, and Perseus's engagement to Princess Andromeda becomes more of a concern than Perseus himself. When Medusa's sisters begin to question her absence, and the palace household questions the unexpected behaviors of their new guest, everything comes into question.

Warning: This is not your standard mythology retelling of sappy love between wounded gods and winsome mortals. This is about the other side of the mythos: the monsters and the chaos that comes with them.
