Praise for Rosie Hewlett
'Delightfully devastating' Bea Fitsgerald, author of Girl, Goddess, Queen
'A fiery and dramatic novel' Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
'Vivid and powerful' Luna McNamara, author of Psyche and Eros

You know her name, you know her story. Just not the right one...

Within the depths of the Underworld the formidable snake-haired Gorgon has finally had enough. Tired of being eternally and unjustly brandished a villain, Medusa has found the courage to face her tragic past and speak out.

Determined to expose the centuries of lies surrounding her name, Medusa gives unparalleled insight into her cursed life, from her earliest memories and abandonment at birth, right through to her tragic and untimely death at the hands of the hero Perseus. Through telling her story, Medusa finally reveals the lost truth behind antiquity's most infamous monster.

Medusa breathes new life into an ancient story and echoes the battle that women throughout millennia have continued to wage - the opportunity to simply be heard.

Readers love Rosie's writing...

'This book is up there with Song of Achilles as one of my all-time favourite retellings'
'Heart-breaking and beautiful'
'Any readers of mythological retellings struggling to find a rival to Madeline Miller should look no further than Rosie Hewlett'
'Absolutely spellbinding'
'Dark, moody, at times heartbreaking, and utterly phenomenal, this book is an absolute must read for any fans of Circe or Ariadne!'
