\n"A vivid and moving reimagining of the myth of
Medusa and the sisters who loved her. \;
\; \;
The
end of the story is only the beginning&hellip\; \; \;
\
; \;
Even before they were transformed into Gorgons\, Medusa and
her sisters\, Stheno and Euryale\, were unique among immortals. Curious ab
out mortals and their lives\, Medusa and her sisters entered the human wor
ld in search of a place to belong\, yet quickly found themselves at the pe
rilous center of a dangerous Olympian rivalry and learned&mdash\;too late&
mdash\;that a god's love is a violent one. \; \;
\;
\;
Forgotten by history and diminished by poets\, the other two Gorgo
ns have never been more than horrifying hags\, damned and doomed. But they
were sisters first\, and their journey from sea-born origins to the outsk
irts of the Parthenon is a journey that rests underneath their scales.&nbs
p\; \;
\; \;
Monsters\, but not monstrous\, Stheno
and Euryale will step into the light for the first time to tell the story
of how all three sisters lived and were changed by each other\, as they st
ruggle against the inherent conflict between sisterhood and individuality\
, myth and truth\, vengeance\, and peace." - Goodreads&nb
