THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME A MIRROR.Born into the stench of a tanner’s yard, I, Medusa, craved only one thing: purity. I sought refuge in the pristine silence of Athena’s temple, believing that devotion would shield me from the chaos of a world ruled by men and gods.I was wrong.When a god’s violence shattered my sanctuary, the goddess of wisdom did not offer justice. She offered a curse. Transformed into a creature of nightmare—skin of bronze, hair of living venom, and a gaze that condemns life to stone—I was exiled to the edge of the world.But the monster in the cave is not what the legends claim. Stripped of my humanity but granted a terrifying power, I had to navigate a life of isolation, hunted by "heroes" seeking glory, and haunted by the betrayal of the divine.In this visceral and heartbreaking retelling, Thea Mercer strips away centuries of myth to reveal the raw, beating heart beneath the scales. Beyond the blade of Perseus and the shadows of Olympus, this is not the story of a villain. It is the testimony of a survivor.Why readers are captivated by I, MEDUSA:A Bold New Voice: A fiercely feminist first POV perspective on the most misunderstood figure in Greek mythology.Heart-Wrenching Emotion: A deep exploration of trauma, rage, and the unbreakable will to survive.Cinematic Prose: Atmospheric and evocative writing that brings Ancient Greece to life like never before.History silenced me.
