[Gods & Monsters 01] • Denying the Gods · the Wronged Series

★ MEDUSA ★

In the darkness, she became the monster.

Em’s very existence is a lie. According to history, or mythology, she died at the hands of Perseus, a monster defeated by a hero. Only, she’s not dead, and now her sister Eury is in trouble in the one place Em’s vowed to never set foot again.

Everything she thought was true is a lie. After freeing their parents from an underwater prison, Eury is struck down by a deadly poison and there’s only one person in the world that can stop its fatal blow, the goddess responsible for the curse, the one that damned Em and her sisters for eternity, Athena.

The path to Olympus is littered with casualties, some of which belong to her, but Em won’t let her sister become one of them. Even if that means working with the god that stole her heart then abandoned her for eons. Only, what if that was a lie, too?

Saving her sister might mean losing herself to the darkness she’s spent lifetimes pushing away and trusting Poseidon might mean losing her heart. Will it take a monster to defeat a goddess?

She’ll become the monster they think she is, if it means saving those she loves.

Cate’s existence as she knew it ceased more than a few millennia ago. Once, she held dominion over the underworld and the darkness that presides over the night. She was one of three, a goddess of the night, Queen of the witches. Now, she was just a symbol, a name called upon by those without true power.

It took one decision, one heartbeat, to change her life forever. When she joined her power to Selene’s to save a life, their powers fused them together, body and mind, and they’ve spent the last two thousand years fighting to find answers.

It took one promise, one pledge of help from Medusa of all monsters to revive hope and forge a new plan to free Endymion from eternal sleep.

Trusting gods and monsters in the pursuit of freedom and justice is terrifying, especially when one of them makes you remember just how much you can feel.
