Medusa - Fisher, H. Dean

Medusa: The monster from legend, with snakes for hair and a gaze that turns humans to stone. Cursed by Athena for the crime of being raped, she was destined to be slain by Perseus. Except, she never died. The stories got it wrong. At the dawn of creation, the girl Medusa lives with her family on the Eastern Edge of the World, but she yearns for more. Fascinated by the newly-created humans, she leaves home to see it all for herself, the farms, the cities, and the temples. Little does she know that a sex-crazed God has been lusting after her for decades. He intends her for Himself, and His obsession will change the course of her life for millennia. In modern New York City, Chloe finally embraces her true self: After years of repressing it, she's willing to admit her own bisexual nature. Her religiously-conservative husband, however, is not, and Chloe flees the abuse that quickly follows. What she doesn't know is that a creature from legend, a myth come to life - Medusa herself - has been hiding in plain sight, and they are about to come face-to-face.
